I'll Try


As I lie here considering why,
Be the events of my life so difficult, though I know my prayers reach the sky.
Sure...I know the lord hears my words as I cry out from the dark,
But I don't see the answers brought into my sight.

True...our Savior never promised us a simple life,
Free of all fear, anxiety and tribulation.
But of all the times my questions are laid before the Throne,
I wonder..though heard, are they left alone ?

Yes, of course I know that's not true even if it often seems I'm ignored,
God's ways are separate from ours' though otherwise we may wish it to be;
His methods are a way...often incomprehensible I must say,
However at the moment all I ask is His answers for me.

I've inquired of the people closest to me,
Regarding their advice about the things going on.
Their responses though sincere and accepted with gratitude and love,
Ultimately I'm left with the very same fear, the end of which I can't really see.

I know Scripture tells us there will never be a test we can't handle,
With the help of the One who paid our price.
His grace is sufficient...His power made perfect in weakness,
Our PARAKLETOS...the Comforter and ocean of spiritual water given us,
Tells us that in the name of the sacrificial Blessed Lamb we can win every battle...endure any strife.

After much prayer and consulting the Scriptural way,
And knowing I need to somehow end the fight;
Yes: the battle belongs to the Lord, it's true,
And the methods and outcome not up to me but you:
I'll trust in Him to help me endure my plight,
While I wait for my answers to be clearly in sight:

Having said that - here and now today,
With conviction all I can really say
...................is ' I'll try '
