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. September 29, 2021 Modified quatorzain with blank verse and couplet 2nd place, " 'Q' Contest, NEW ONLY" Sponsored by Constance La France; judged on 10/4/2021.
