Quandary
Midst quandary in choosing what is best
Among varied alternatives offered
My soul seeks God, Author and the Source of light
Toward optimum functional pursuits.
Perplexed with guilt causing unrest of heart
Condemning me to languish in failure
I beseech the Saviour for His mercy
Toward another start with renewed peace.
Overcoming confusion woes and doubts
My faith clings to the Lord Who illumines
Anchored upon His immutable truth
Toward steadfast commitment, smiting doubt.
Toward triumph against dilemma’s pain
I thank Christ for stewardship’s wisdom* gain.
*James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
