Doubt
by Barbara Philbrook

I have some doubt in my mind,
I need the peace only God can help me find.

I know faith is a gift given for free,
Lord please supply enough to me.

I can not get through life on my own,
I need your guidance, I need to be shown.

I feel so unworthy to be accepted by you,
I've read I am forgiven and know it must be true.

I see where I can ask for healing, I must believe,
and then according to your word I will receive.

Instead of improvement coming my way,
things appear to have gotten worse day by day.

Now anyone having evidence can believe it's true,
but Father though I see the opposite I am thanking you.

The healing is not evident and it's proof can not be seen,
but God I thank you any way for the healing I glean.

I am counting it as done no matter what I see,
I Thank You Father for healing me.

I Thank You for the strength and energy I will feel,
though I see it not, I count it as real.

I thank You for healing my heart and making it whole,
I Thank You from the very depth of my soul.

I choose to believe and be thankful to you,
counting it as done believing it to be true.

Father please help me in any unbelief,
when I grow weary please send me relief.

Doubt would be the easy way out,
instead I choose to believe and your Praises I shout.

One day soon I'll be shouting to the world,
I chose to believe and this healing was unfurled.
