''When Doubt and Existential Angst Meet Faith'' Ii

When doubt and existential angst meet faith,
     the saved hold on and cleave unto their God
through prayer; like Job's wife, apostates oft' saith
     “Curse God and die!” when lightning strikes the rod:

consumed by the bolt's power, it loses
     hope in the celestial Creator (leaven
of doubt leavens the saints; even Moses,
     the Nile-cruising infant sent as from heaven

by Lights, could not invoke ten commandments
     from the Mount to erase Israel's trespass
of lacking faith.). The old and new testaments
     of antique, ancient time (when giv'n en masse)

reveal and offer for posterity
faith's assured reward and reality!
