[Unfiltered] Faith

At times I hid under the burden of drawn out days

Ready to plunge into slumber, 

there was nothing left of me.

At times I delighted in comparing my good ways

To the lack in my neighbor's deeds.

I was high and mighty, with nothing good in me.

At times I was ready to declare your goodness

Steadfast and faithful,

I was certain You were present and near.

At times I was just scared and felt alone,

There was no way that I could imagine You being by my side….

Let alone know that You were carrying me.

Still everyday,

You choose to love me, though I falter...

Still everyday,

I make the decision to praise Your name…

I realize that I am truly fortunate.

You deserve all the praise!
