Unbelief

Unbelief has wrapped itself around my spirit and taken it captive like a python captures its prey.

It has a stranglehold on my soul and I am slowly being suffocated by its grip.

Oh God I cry out to you with hopes that you can help and there comes a frightening silence!

Where are you? Do you not care about me anymore?

There was a time when my faith was so strong, but that faith has been reduced to mere rubble in the aftermath of trials.

I was once a strong soldier, but I am left lying on the battlefield. My faith is weak and wounded.

Then there comes the resounding testimony of David who said he had never seen God’s children forsaken or having to beg to have their needs fulfilled.

And from you, O God, I hear the assurance, “my grace is enough” and it gives me strength to stand and fight another day.

Not knowing all the answers, yet trusting in your grace.
