My heart cries out to my Lord,

“Help me Father, I am in need!”

Hoping desperately for a miracle,

while lacking enough faith to fill the shell of a mustard seed.

I seek the shelter of His protective arms,

then in uncertainty try to assist the One to whom I pray!

I, His own creation doubting He can do it on His own

as He continues to carefully lead me out of His way.

I am amazed at my own lack of faith

After He flaunts His Godly power.

Yet, when trouble finds me again,

I find myself right back in that doubting hour.

Forgive my foolish ways, Father!

Without you I fear the future I would come to know.

Teach me to relax in faith instead of squirming in doubt.

Thank you for not tiring of me Father, and simply letting go.
