The Abundance of Your Mercy – A Christian Poem For Lent In the hour of my tribulation, I fail the same trials and tests Time and time again.

During my morning study, I read through David’s Song of Deliverance in 2 Samuel 22. I have been making my way through the Bible, determined to read it from start to finish this year. King David has been a familiar character through 1 and 2 Samuel, but this morning I was really struck by David’s…

Struggling With Sin
—
by
“For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.” (Romans 7:15) I think just about everyone can relate to this verse. We find ourselves committing the same sins over and over again, even after we swear we’ll never commit them…

My God – A Christian Poem About Jesus and Salvation My God has hoisted up the worldAnd bore its weight upon his shouldersWhile it was spitting in his faceAnd driving nails through his limbs like 2x4s.

“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself…

The Dark Night of the Soul – A Christian Poem About Doubt

The Dark Night of the Soul – Seeking Jesus in Our Doubts
—
by
Faith As An Emotion Sometimes I think we put way too much weight on faith. When I say “faith” I am defining it by the way the majority of Christians use the term – as a feeling. When we think of faith, feeling and emotion are immediately attached to it. Your faith is measured by…

Daring to Dream – A Poem About Faith and Belief

by
Let’s face it. Sometimes it’s difficult in our world of skeptics, cynics, and pessimists to keep our faith strong. Everywhere you turn there are articles, people, and influences steering you away from a belief in God and towards a belief in self. Our culture shows a similarity to the time of the Judges of Israel. “Everyone…

Often, we have a misunderstanding about accepting Jesus into our lives. We believe that we are not able to come to him until we have cleaned up our act. Maybe we’re not completely wanting to clean up our act; maybe we want to clean it up, but are scared; and maybe we just don’t know how…

Loving God in the Midst of Doubt

by
From a very early age, I’ve felt a strong connection to God in my heart beyond anything that was learned or indoctrinated into me. It is a intimacy that calls to me, whispers my name, and demands that I pay attention and find meaning in what is unfolding around me. But stubbornness and pride are…

Prayer For Dealing With Feelings of Doubt
—
by
My Lord, why have you not heard my crying?Is my voice not loud enough to reach your ears?I sit in the pool of my own tear drops,drowning in the loneliness of my fears.I yearn for you. I yearn for freedom-caged like some wild beast no matter where I go.But your enemies…they’re free to roam.They walk…
