Learning to Trust

Learning to Trust

I’m finding it hard,
Struggling each day,
I’m down on my knees,
With nothing to say.

I feel so alone,
Facing difficult times,
I can’t find the reason,
Purpose or rhyme.

These struggles I face,
Are they lessons for me?
To increase my faith?
I search, but don’t see.

Or am I just dashed,
Like waves on the shore?
Am I collateral damage,
In someone else’s war?

I’m worried and scared,
Each day it repeats.
This burden is heavy,
The ends never meet.

And yet some things I still know,
Truths, buried down deep.
My God is for me!
His promises, He'll keep.

He has no dark side,
I’ve heard Beth tell.
He can’t get messed up,
He sees where I dwell.

I am His child,
My name's engraved in His hand.
My God is faithful!
His Words? They still stand!

I know that He knows,
He sees all my pain.
That gives me my comfort,
He lifts my head…again.

I learn quickly in my head,
Less so, in my heart.
My doubts and fears,
They're slow to depart.

So I’m learning to trust,
This IS in His hands.
I’m building my house,
On rock, not on sand.

I’m tired, so tired
The road’s still uphill,
It’s time for some rest,
Time to be still,

And know He is God.
