Lord's
Faith
by
Barbara Philbrook
I
believe Lord that whatever faith I need right now to see
me through,
that is the amount of faith I will receive from you.
I believe
that the faith we have is not of ourselves but a gift
from you instead,
and that no matter what lies before me you will give me
the faith to face it therefore I need not dread.
Faith is
belief in things that cannot be seen,
belief in the things my Bible tells me and what the Holy
Spirit interprets them to mean.
Faith is
the substance of things hoped for but not yet received,
the promises I read about and without evidence I still
believed.
Faith is
what you give me to get me through the times that tend to
be extra rough,
the times when standing on my own strength would be
way too tough.
Faith is
what gets me going when others poke fun at
"You" or your "Holy Word",
faith in "You" can get my defenses up and get
me stirred.
Faith is
what allows me to get flustered and oh so frustrated at
one who refuses to heed your beckoning call, Lord I wish
I were smart enough to convince them all.
Faith is
what gives me the peace that allows me to accept what I
can not change,
faith is what lets me know when there are situations that
I can rearrange.
Faith is
what tells me that where two or more are gathered in
prayer,
that you dear Father are also there.
Faith
assures me that when we believe for anything that we seek
as we pray,
that we can be assured of the answer at the right
time and in the right way.
Yes I
believe that there is nothing Lord that You and I
together can not do,
and when I get Home I'll spend eternity giving the
Honor and Glory to You!
