Oh Faith

Oh faith

Why are you so far from me

Why are you not simple to have

Yet you are what moves God

But you are not as easy as a hand wave

Things around me becloud my focus

My Father desires that I look to Him

He assures me that we are on course

Sadly, I am too restless to listen to him

Oh faith

Why are you so far from me


I try to fix my eyes on Jesus

One moment on Him, the next around me

I try to hold on to His word

One moment on the word, the next on me

Oh faith

Why are you so far from me


For each challenge that comes my way

I struggle with you and often am defeated

I look forward to when I shall all the way

Be triumphant though afflicted

Oh faith

Will I ever be full of you

Why are you and patience inseparable

Oh, how trying and worrisome it is to wait

Wait, I try but not for long am I able

Lord, help me to pray, believe and wait

Oh faith

Soon, I shall be full of you

I think the apostle Peter had this same problem when Jesus asked him to walk to him on the water. He looked around at his circumstances and his faith wavered. The Bible says that faith is the EVIDENCE of things NOT SEEN. Strange concept, isn't it? Instead of struggling within yourself trying to find faith, why not try resting in Christ, who is the faithful one.
Loved your poem, by the way.

Hi, David,

Thanks for the comment. I quite agree with you that I should rest in Christ. The challenge is the waiting period. God takes his time to make all things right but blessed are those who wait on him. It is a process but I am glad to say that I am learning.
