Wandering prayer

By <font color=crimson>Faith

<font size=2>If I close my eyes and try to disappear will the doubt vanish along with this fear I feel? Or am I doomed to fail at almost every thing I do? If I close my eyes tight will I become the silence between Your words? Will I feel connected in some small way to the elaborate plans You hold out to me in Your hands? If I shut my eyes for a moment and release my heart from the vice I repeatedly lock it in will You teach me to love as You love? Patiently? Humbly? Unconditionally? Or am I alone in this struggle? If I scream at the top of my lungs will You answer? Will You send water from heaven to drench my dry weary soul before I drift away with the wind? Or am I already lost? ©2005

--I penned this one just today. Yes, i am a Christian, but that doesn't mean that i have an easy time trusting God... slowly but surely i am learning to give Him more of my trust. Pray that i get there one day.--

I really love this poem and I find myself relating to it. As I was reading it, I thought to myself "this is how I actually feel sometimes". I too am a Christian and come across those times in my life in which I doubt the Lord's love for me but this poem is soo comforting to read. In a way, its puts the reassurance back in my heart.

I feel like this often...trusting, hoping and believing in God is sometimes one of the hardest things to do.
