Book resonating with me

[Frank Smith44]

Lately, I’ve been reflecting a lot on suffering and faith, and I came across a poetry collection that really put my emotions into words. It’s called Lamentations Rhapsody, and it explores themes of exile, longing, and trust in God—kind of like a modern-day lamentation.
One line that really stuck with me was:
"In the storm, You are my peace,
Yet the tempest is by Your hand."
It made me think about how God is both our refuge and the one who allows the trials that shape us. Have any of you found books or poems that helped deepen your faith during tough times? I’d love to hear what’s inspired you.

G'day Frank

Phillip Yancey's 'What's so amazing about Grace' and EGW's 'Desire of Ages' have been stepping stones of hope in my pilgrimage.
What you have quoted above is worthy of reflection, it reminds me of Paul's words in Romans 8:35-39....

'Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.'
