''When Existential Angst Tests Faith''
When existential angst tests faith, we hope
that in the new-risen day there's a God
from high above Who inspires us to cope,
tho' life strikes us as if we're lightning rods.
When existential angst tests faith, we pray
not for escape from life's woes, but for grace
and strength to show and manifest the Way,
the Truth, and the Light in reflective space.
When existential angst tests faith, we know
there's a God Who transcends all doubts and saves:
for it's ourselves we seek to overthrow,
since our nature spurns what Creation craves.
Doubt and angst, when by faith here examined,
now wilt and die from these lines imagined.
