Doubt

Doubt

We all have had days that we have doubted in God.
No matter how good we are or the streets that we trod.
But the next time one of those doubts crosses your mind.
Take a step back and think of how God was there all the time.

Do not dwell on your pains or your losses.
The devil loves it when one is confused by life’s choice of bosses.
The devil loves for us to run two and fro…..
Preventing us from seeing God, don’t you know.

Set your eyes and heart on higher ground.
Praise only God and do not give the devil a sound.
Love everyone with true love from your heart.
No matter the pain that you might feel in your heart.

Take a look at your hands.  You will see no nail scars or names.
But God loves us all so much and loves the sinners just the same.
God tells us to love the sinner yet to hate the sin.
So we must pray for those that hurt us and this is where we all must begin.

The next time you find you are facing a trial and your doubt starts to creep in.
Offer up a prayer of praise and let God keep you from that sin.
For each trial we face, whether we walk or crawl through.
God is always there and He so much loves you.

God did something, that I am not sure I could do.
I am not sure, if my only son I would send to die for you.
He loved us all before we were even born.
The devil only wants for us the name of God to scorn.

So please my dear friend, in your moments of doubts.
Offer up your prayers of praise and He will show you what it’s about.
It is okay to tell God just exactly how you feel.
And in your next breath, you will know that God is real.

I am not perfect and I do not claim to be.
But I truly believe in God,
And know that one day,
His Face I shall see.
