In the Light of Dark Comings

Faith is only troublesome when You lose it in the very thing that Was supposed to create more of it Here, shame manifests itself in Doubt, developing a disappointment You Feel toward yourself for a simple failed trial The money is gone with no way to pay I pray for more time on the clock But hard times are clearly inevitable I'm ready for the test this time But fear comes with it for the Universe usually see this as a dare The fear in having my faith tested Comes from the gathered evidence Of my always giving up early My strength is my constant effort To produce more faith In the light of dark comings. I am not hoping in results but in the Certainty that I will become what God intends regardless of circumstances Change comes to me now as I Go to God for the connection That creates better I am gaining focus as I follow In Gods direction to growth In sight of the trap of the circle I am spiraling upwards as I write The truth that I death grip as I ascend towards improvement I am protecting my faith through the Gratitude I feel for all the things That challenge and have challenged me So I am working assured, knowing This time I trust in confidence Even though I have nothing to show for it
