231206 My Faith Walk

My Faith Walk

Why is it this faith walk of mine

Won't ever follow a straight line?

For steady progress, tend to lack

It's one step forward, two steps back

Seems every time I look around 

I have to cover the same ground

Shortcomings,  vices left behind

Keep reappearing all the time

You'd think hard lessons I'd have learned

Yet, find same teachings at next turn

And so must learn them once again 

That on God's word, I can depend

I know a walk of faith's life-long

By now, shouldn't my faith be strong?

Yet, oft times I behave quite meek

And trust feels fragile, timid, weak

The storms arrive; the strong wind blows

So, two steps backward, my faith goes

Forgetting all the times before

That God sustained me and much more

Yet, other times I am at ease

Storms strong gusts feel like gentle breeze

Certain that I am in God's hands

In spite of circumstance - faith stands

Seems I can walk with confidence 

When eyes on Christ aren't just a glance

But rather is a steady gaze

Then, faithful walk's the trail I blaze 

Lord, help me not see bumps ahead

But, just your faithfulness instead 

To feel your love, grace, and mercy

Are walking alongside of me

To trust I never walk alone 

That you, God are still on the throne

So, when my walk of faith is through

It will have led me straight to you


2 Corinthians 5:7

For we walk by faith, not by sight


Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths


2 Corinthians 4:18


Hebrews 12:2
