glimpse of weakness

Vulnerability... here's a glimpse of me, when my mind is tossing and turning, attempting to know hidden things. Why don't I stop my worrying, and trust? For God says to the thirsty who come to Him, "You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace..." (Isaiah 55:12). That verse really struck an ache in me yesterday at house church, an ache for that joy and peace, not to mention my ever-present need for guidance. Here's a poem I wrote on Saturday night:

Step by step
I walk through life
a lot of joy
a little strife
I can't see far
but with eyes on Him
I'm stepping in faith
as though on a limb
Troubles may come
and laughter too
but living it out
I'm trusting in You
So many things
I'm worried I'll need
but You will provide
always care for me
If ever I don't
have all figured out
Your Spirit with me
erases all doubt
So living in joy
even 'mid strife
step by step
I walk through life

i LOVE your poem, mer, it spoke volumes to my heart. my faith so often flounders like a fish out of water; why can't i just rest in Him? you're such an inspiration to me sis.
