Journal entry:
Needs Confirmation
I made the request
Aloud hoping that would make
It reality,
Prayers I most often raise up
Silently, but not this one.
I know the answer
Will come quietly without
A spoken word, but
I will feel it applied to
My heart and within my life.
Sometimes I wish all
God’s acts were visible to
My eyes so I was
Certain about His answers,
But I must accept by faith.
Faith is the problem,
I have so very much doubt…
Perhaps disease is
In part to blame, but I must
Dispense with my unbelief.
The scriptures are clear,
There should be no confusion…
And yet I wrestle
With my overwhelming doubt,
I plead, Jesus give me peace.
