In the tapestry of faith, stories unfold,
Of those deemed weak, yet in God's hands, bold.
Abraham, childless, his faith put to test,
Yet from barrenness, God's promise manifest.
David, the shepherd, small in stature and might,
Chosen to rise, a beacon in the night.
Joseph, enslaved, rejected and scorned,
Yet his path to greatness, divinely adorned.
Job, in his anguish, his spirit unbowed,
From depths of despair, his faith allowed.
Beside Bethesda's pool, a soul in strife,
Found healing not in water, but in the source of life.
Lazarus, entombed in death's embrace,
Miraculously summoned, to life's wondrous grace.
In weakness, suffering, and trials untold,
God's glory revealed, His power foretold.
So let not despair, nor trials dismay,
For in weakness, God's strength finds its way.
In every trial, His glory shall shine,
For His power transcends, in the grand design.
