Is My Faith Enough?

Do I have enough faith?

How much is enough?
A mustard seed is supposed to be enough
I’m not casting a mountain into the sea
Just need what’s ahead of me
Is it enough?
Praying the words looking for the formula
What works with others doesn’t for me
It’s the moment when God shows up
Or He doesn’t
This is the time faith is tested
Will it pass or will I fail?
Living each day renewed
Clinging to the strength of each day
Where will this lead?
I need whatever faith is enough
Enough faith to overcome this.

Old Requests, New Faith

Prayer requests get old
People pray on to new ones
They want immediate miracles
Only good news
We face our need every day
This is what we pray
David had to encourage himself
I am there
Can’t depend on others
God has to do it
Where is He in this?
I wake up wondering
Another day where my faith needs renewed
I depend on it and seek it
One day at a time
One step at a time
Can’t live past that
Each day is a roller coaster
Filled with ups and downs
Only thing we can do is hold on tight
Push through each and ride it out
Healing can come today
I believe until something changes

I Got Nothing

I got nothing.
Inspiration is on empty.
Nothing is stirring me to write.
No words of wisdom to share.
This is real life.
Job knew how this feels.
I wonder if God hears me.
People will ask: “Where is your God now?”
A make-believe sky wizard of no proof?
Do I even know how to pray?
Tough times asks questions.
How can I be strong?
When I feel incompetent and weak.
Job didn’t understand.
Neither do I.
The answers are easy when it isn’t you.
Will my faith be strong enough?
No Bible verses or cute cliches
Time to strengthen my grip and hang on.
