Facing every day

While trying to accept God’s way

Wondering what’s in store

Until God fills us to the core

Grappling with fear

Not knowing God is near

Looking for unconditional love

Without seeing heaven above

Looking for a hand to hold

Not knowing a story will be told

Traveling from place to place

Without seeing God’s amazing grace

Longing for a God given purpose

Until it rises to the surface

Searching the soul

Until faith makes it whole

Searching for strength

Until we talk with God at length

Looking all around

Until God puts us on solid ground

Looking straight ahead

Finally letting go of dread

Looking at the heart

Until faith shows where to start

Looking for a voice

Until God shows us how to rejoice

Never reaching our peak

Until we hear God speak

Feeling very unsure

Until faith makes us feel secure

Grappling with doubt

Until God works things out

Too busy stressing

Until God pours out a blessing

Trying to learn lessons

That will become heartfelt confessions

Falling and rising again

Before seeing faith helps us win

Wondering what’s in stone

Feeling like we’re all alone

Before learning to smile

Even laugh a little while

Is what prayer gets

As we live with regrets
