I  AM  IN   NEED   OF  FAITH

It’s when I realize, I’m me,

simply me – with no titles -

no bragging rights – no nothing –

when life is going right or especially

when life is going wrong - when

disappointment or darkness takes over,

it’s then I hear prayer calls.

It’s then I realize, I’m like Abraham

called to walk by faith,

to take steps -  to make moves

I never thought I could take or make.

It’s then I know I have to make

sacrifices that seem mysterious or impossible,

but I can make them,  because I am.

It’s then, I realize, I’m like Jesus,

called to hear Our Father’s will,

to hear Our Father’s voice.

It seems it’s then I hear

God saying things like,

“I am with you all days

even to the end of the world.”
