Ah, The Moments of Faith!

Faith and fear,
How different they are,
To find a place in my heart,
They're always at war!

There are moments,
When fear wins,
It feels everything's shut,
And it gets so dark within!

Then there are times,
When faith is victorious,
There's light, hope,
And a fresh portion of breeze!

Clearly, fear is undesirable,
Yet, life often brings it around,
The slimy emotion finds way in the heart,
My resistance no matter how strong!

And when you're a mother,
Fear finds many more avenues,
You shut one door,
From another, it comes through!

One runs between books,
and friends and family,
To find weapons against fear,
To defeat it finally!

But it comes back again,
And again and again,
Until you bow down to pray,
And faith within, you gain.

Ah, the wonderful
Moments of faith,
Breaking the walls of darkness,
Seep in the heart, the bright rays!

The situation may remain the same,
But peace sinks in,
The silhouettes of doubt fade away,
The heart overflows with thanksgiving!

But the fear sits there
Waiting for faith to falter,
It comes gushing in,
So, stay focused dear!

Keep the eyes on Jesus,
Let the waves move beneath your feet,
Keep marching forward in faith,
And all problems in Him, you will defeat!
