Lord, I’m struggling once again
With the shallowness of my faith.
I know your Word.
It’s true, I’m sure.
But why can’t I trust and obey?
Even in the days I didn’t believe.
When looking back at the years,
You were always there.
You’ve always cared.
Proving the futility of my fears.
You would think after all this time,
With the blessings You’ve bestowed.
I would be at peace
With my belief,
And be at rest with the God I know.
But even with the simplest of things,
I find myself in the same old place.
Failing once again.
Fearful if I can
Surpass the boundaries of Your grace.
My child, I knew we’d be here today.
Your thoughts are no surprise to Me.
This is nothing new
To trust what is true.
Let me remind you of My history.
For three years, My disciples followed me,
And heard every word that I had said.
How I fed the crowds.
Silenced the stormy clouds.
And even raised Lazarus from the dead.
But when My time had finally come
To deliver the world from shame.
I was all alone.
My friends were gone.
But I still loved them all the same.
This is true for you as well.
You’re a finished work in My eyes.
You’ll continue to fall.
Struggle to climb the wall.
But I will always be by your side.
So, hang in their My beloved child.
Your life is a long-distance race.
Remember these words.
They’re true for sure.
There are no boundaries of My grace.
