Staring Into the Abyss

Staring into the abyss of crises’ appearance I’m stricken with panic, disclosing my unbelief and ignorance… Yet with God’s radiance, I can behold His gracious sustenance Indeed assuring His provisions of bountiful abundance Midst wellness of healthy satisfaction-extravagance; Thus, I thank Him for His timely deliverance. Staring into the abyss of insecurity’s disillusionment I’m gripped with anxiety’s tormenting predicament… Yet with God’s vision, I can perceive thru His enlightenment Indeed opening my sight to His sufficing contentment Midst His blessings for spiritual fulfillment; Thus, I praise Him for His compassionate engagement. Staring into the abyss of uncertain future I’m attacked by doubt’s torture… Yet with God’s illumination, I can see His grace-gesture Indeed expressed by His Scripture Midst His promises for triumphant faith’s venture; Thus, I worship Him along holiness virtues’ posture. Staring into the abyss of life’s grueling difficulties I’m paralyzed, confronted along terrorism’s realities… Yet with God’s lens, I can see His miraculous verities Indeed highlighting His mighty goodness-certainties Midst His power* controlling universe entities; Thus, I trust Him with my yielded faculties. *1Corinthians 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
