Lyrics:
Why do I
Fear what I cannot control in my life
Why do I
Forget that the fire is how I'm refined

I try and I try and I try
To keep pressing on with hopes high
But sometimes I fall
God through it all
I know You’ll be by my side
There’s no guarantee in this life
Yeah trouble’s a matter of time
But You’re in control
And that’s how I know

Everything gon’ be okay
It won’t always be this way
At my worst
When it hurts
Won’t be afraid
Sometimes faith has growing pains

You’re the light
Leading me on through the depth of the night
You’re the prize
Waiting for me at the end of this life

Everything gon’ be okay
It won’t always be this way
At my worst
When it hurts
Won’t be afraid
Sometimes faith has growing pains
Everything gon’ be okay
This will all make sense one day
At my worst
When it hurts
Won’t be afraid
Sometimes faith has growing pains

This song is so powerful. Been a Christian my whole life, grew up in church. My mother just passed away. She was who influenced my faith. She was a powerful daughter of God. When she died my faith has been SHAKEN. Thank you for this song .

"Growing Pains"

Why do I
Fear what I cannot control in my life?
Why do I
Forget that the fire is how I'm refined?

I try and I try and I try
To keep pressing on with hopes high
But sometimes I fall
God, through it all
I know You'll be by my side
There's no guarantee in this life
Yeah, trouble's a matter of time
But You're in control
That's how I know

Everything gon' be okay
It won't always be this way
At my worst, when it hurts, won't be afraid
Sometimes faith has growing pains

You're the light
Leading me on through the depth of the night
You're the prize
Waiting for me at the end of this life

So I try and I try and I try
To keep pressing on with hopes high
But sometimes I fall
God, through it all
I know You'll be by my side
There's no guarantee in this life
Yeah, trouble's a matter of time
But You're in control
That's how I know

Everything gon' be okay
It won't always be this way
At my worst, when it hurts, won't be afraid
Sometimes faith has growing pains

Everything gon' be okay
This will all make sense one day
At my worst, when it hurts, won't be afraid
Sometimes faith has growing pains
Sometimes faith has growing pains
Sometimes faith has growing pains
There's no gain without the pain
Sometimes faith has growing pains

Everything gon' be okay, okay
It won't always be this way, this way
At my worst, when it hurts, won't be afraid
'Cause I know sometimes faith has growing pains

Yeah, everything gon' be okay
This will all make sense one day
At my worst, when it hurts, won't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Sometimes faith has growing pains

Better believe it
Before you can see it, before you can feel it
Keep walking through fire, keep facing the giant
'Cause faith is a fighter

Everything gon' be okay
It won't always be this way
At my worst, when it hurts, won't be afraid
Sometimes faith has growing pains

Goosebumps man, heard the song yesterday and instantly fell for it. It's a soul toucher, a reminder that God still lives, in good or bad times. I have sense of relief now, especially at a time where I was so down in my life. I just feel like I can take on the world again you know. Thank you sincerely so thank you.

[NorthernerDiaries]

This band was a discovery for me. Like a fresh breath of air

[sheilacavalier]

I heard this song yesterday for the 1st time on Spotify yesterday. It has ministered to me these last 24 hours. I normally don't post comments, but I felt the Holy Spirit telling me write out my feelings. My mom passed 11 months ago. I signed her up for Hospice Dec 2022. This has been the most challenging year of my life. But I've seen God faithful! This song reminds me that this phase is temporary. This song confirmed what the Holy Spirit told me. It's the fire that builds my character. I know my family is in pain, but it's temporary. Thank you, Pastor Steven Furtick, & Elevation Rhythm for allowing the Holy Spirit to minister in ways that are beyond what I can explain! I know my Father is in control!

[kimsydneyalgas]

A very special friend has sent me this song. I was in one of the deepest valleys of my life at that time, and my friend didn't know, but I am very grateful that God spoke through him and this message was what I needed. Thank you, Lord. You've always been so good to me.

[Vithando]

I love this song.I was held in demonic oppression from 2022 to 2024.This song really gave me hope that God would set me free.The reason I had the demonic oppression was because in my third year of being a Christian, I went back to most of the the things that Jesus saved me from when he made me a Christian, when he removed me from the kingdom of darkness into his kingdom of light(Colossians 1:13).So the devil saw an opportunity to come accuse me, control my mind, emotions, I could not defend myself against his attacks because I was spritually drained, I had not been feeding myself prayer and God's word.So he found me at my weakest but now its 2025.I am talking a different story.Jesus has healed me.Reading the Bible and praying, set me from believing the lies of the enemy.
-John 8:32

[childofthemosthigh]

“We have troubles all around us, but we are not defeated. We do not know what to do, but we do not give up the hope of living. We are persecuted, but God does not leave us. We are hurt sometimes, but we are not destroyed. We carry the death of Jesus in our own bodies so that the life of Jesus can also be seen in our bodies.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬-‭10‬ ‭NCV‬‬

[YHANAN]

Why do I
Fear what I cannot control in my life?
Why do I
Forget that the fire is how I'm refined?

I try, and I try, and I try
To keep pressing on with hopes high
But sometimes I fall, God, through it all
I know you'll be my side
There's no guarantee in this life
Yeah, trouble's a matter of time
But you're in control, that's how I know

Everything gon' be okay
It won't always be this way
At my worst, when it hurts, I won't be afraid
Sometimes, faith has growing pains

You're the light
Leading me on through the depth of the night
You're the prize
Waiting for me at the end of this life

So, I try, and I try, and I try
To keep pressing on with hopes high
But sometimes I fall, God, through it all
I know you'll be my side
There's no guarantee in this life
Yeah, trouble's a matter of time
But you're in control, that's how I know

Everything gon' be okay (okay)
It won't always be this way (it won't always be this way)
At my worst, when it hurts, I won't be afraid (no, no, no)
Sometimes, faith has growing pains

Yeah, everything gon' be okay (okay, yeah)
This will all make sense one day
At my worst, when it hurts, I won't be afraid

Sometimes, faith has growing pains
Sometimes, faith has growing pains
Sometimes, faith has growing pains
There's no gain without the pain (learning to trust You)
Sometimes, faith has growing pains

Everything gon' be okay, okay (okay, yeah)
It won't always be this way (this way)
At my worst, when it hurts, I won't be afraid
'Cause I know
Sometimes, faith has growing pains

Yeah, everything gon' be okay
This will all make sense one day (it's gonna make sense)
At my worst, when it hurts, I won't be afraid (don't be afraid)
Sometimes, faith has growing pains

Better believe it
Before you can see it (before you can see it)
Before you can feel it
Walking through fire
Keep facing the giant (facing the giant)
'Cause faith is a fire, oh

Ya’ll… I got a story to tell of the goodness of God in my life that I hope will encourage you about growing pains and how when we go through them, it is for the sharpening of our faith in Christ. So that we can be deeply rooted in Him and not be shaken even when everything around us crumbles.

1.5 years ago, my husband and I bought a house. We moved with our little 1 year old son at the end of 2021 across the country with everything we had. We said one of the hardest goodbyes to our families and friends not really knowing exactly why we were drawn to our state and home but knowing God had a purpose for it. To say that last year was a hard year is an understatement. We got hit financially and man… it wrecked me. It was hard on my husband. I found myself in deep depression and my husband also started struggling with depression as well. I remember laying on my bedroom floor bawling my eyes out many times through last year. Asking God “Why?”
“Why did we move out here if it was going to result in such a hardship?”
“Was any of this Your plan to begin with?”

My husband had to close his business and we had to live off of our savings because there was no “back up” plan. He got blessed with two jobs last year but they were temporary and while it blessed our home for that time, it really taught us to trust the Lord in the little things.

I started applying for jobs in hopes that I could get something to help out while my hubs tried to figure out what he was going to try and do. I applied to over 300+ jobs, some I was under qualified for and some I was over qualified for. I was crushed. I had faith there was something out there for me but there were no interview requests or job offers.

I started to lose hope. I lost faith. I was constantly anxious, panicking (had lots of panic attacks because I was worried that this was forever. That we would lose our home we prayed hard for… etc.) I stopped prioritizing the Lord and allowed my circumstances to control me.

It was a huge lesson to learn that in the lows of life God is still above it all. Fast forward to February 2023, the Lord opened a wonderful door for our household. I got blessed working for an incredible company that I treasure because I know God did it. God blessed me here.

We are still praying that the Lord opens a door for my husband to have a wonderful job as well, but until then… everything will be okay because it won’t always be this way. I know He is in control and He has something wonderful to bless us even more so that we can share of His faithfulness, of His goodness, so that we can bless others.

God is good. In every high and low. He’s still God. We go through these things in life to learn, to grow, and to trust in Him.

Thank you Jesus for everything. 🤍

"Which of you can add a single hour to their lives by worrying" Matthew 6:27
Father, from the naked eye, it may seem as if the isn't a way, as if I would not be able to afford my daily bread. But You are in control, I do not need to be anxious for anything, but through prayer and Thanksgiving, all I need to do is make my requests known unto You and You give me the desires of my heart 💖
May we never be discouraged though it may seem as if we are broken, hopeless, weak, Our God is working behind the scenes.

I retook a semester in uni and finals are right around the corner. I really think this song was sent by God to remind me he's always near, even when things seem impossible to overcome. All I have to do is believe. Definitely a favourite and on repeat

[danielhoganthefourth]

I have listened to
This song everyday after I first heard it! Exactly what I needed!
