Musings On Faith

When I feel puzzled and perplexed,
When in the maze of conflicting thoughts, I am held,
Wondering how to proceed and reach the port, 
Then Faith in God comes handy to my aid

Over the turbulent waves, as I get tossed,
The promise of His Word gives me courage.
His everlasting love, I feel in my heart.
On my scars it serves as a safe bandage 

All I pray is to give me grace to adhere to a strong faith,
To navigate the complexities of existence,
To find meaning and purpose in this transient life,
And from the pestilences of life, to acquire resistance!

Yet, frail I am and when through trials and tribulations as I pass,
And when they upset my balance leaving me unsteady,
To you Lord, earnestly I beseech, not to let me down,
Never allowing me to get drowned in the eddy.

In this vast universe and in its amazing wonders
From the mountains high and the oceans deep
I see the working of your Providential hand,
That from death and all dangers our lives keep.

When questions arise shaking my trust and faith,
All I wish is to fully abide by Your Word,
Entrusting my body and my soul into Your loving hands,
And like a child cling on to the safety of Thy hold.

Sotto Poet Date: 10/10/2023 11:06:00 AM Dear Valsa, the tremendous spectrum of emotions and unfathomable insights that you have delicately tied into this Poem has utterly enthralled me. My everlasting faith in the Divine's great power and the astounding marvels that His compassion may bestow is genuinely unshakeable. The only path ahead is to yield to His divine guidance, We discover the resilience that endures through unshakable hope and a firm conviction in His omniscience, aided by the influence these qualities impart upon us.

Hiya Sharma Date: 10/10/2023 5:26:00 AM Wow, dear poetess, I'm absolutely awestruck by the amount of emotions and depth that you've infused so powerfully in this write.. I do have firm belief and faith in the supreme strength of the Almighty and the miracles that His blessings can do.. When life coats our essence with hues of trials and tribulations, the only way is to surrender to Him and He will take care of us, as we are all His children.. Perseverance and resilience only come from hope and strong belief and by the power they give Login to Reply Hiya Sharma Date: 10/10/2023 5:27:00 AM Truly a brilliant poem this is and I really felt every word, so wonderfully articulated here with rhythmic flow.. Saved in my FAVs!

Victor Buhagiar Date: 10/10/2023 12:55:00 AM Faith is blind in a way. We cannot understand the mystery that is revealed by God. Consider Satan's temptation. If you eat the fruit, you will be like God. A blatant lie. Blessings Login to Reply
