Bad news is bound to come to us all,
you can cave-in to defeat or give God a call.

You can wallow in self pity throughout the day,
or fall on your knees and humbly pray.

You can try to brave through it all alone,
or lean on the Heavenly Father as we've been shown.

You can dwell on the negativity,
or you can ask God to help so the positive you'll see.

You can seek to learn a lesson of life,
or you can give in to the hopelessness of strife.

You can persevere and your character be perfected,
instead of caving in as the enemy expected.

Bad news is something we all eventually hear,
but if we know God we need not fear.
