Prayer for the doubtful mind
While I understand sin
As the lack of connection to You
in thought or action
There are things about this world
I don't understand, Lord.
I don’t understand pain and suffering.
As many times as I've heard it explained
By preacher or theologian
It always rings empty.
Starvation makes no sense to me
Houses torn apart by tornadoes
Make no sense.
War makes no sense.
Disabilities make no sense.
We call them tests of faith,
But sometimes I question
The severity of these tests.
One one hand, I know I am a frail man,
Who am I to question you,
But still I question.
I look to you, sovereign Lord,
For a solution
We are told to learn from our mistakes
We are told to make strength from weakness
Please, Lord, give us strength
Give us clarity in chaos
Give peace to not question
The trials we have to face.
Give us the conviction
To push away doubt.
Bless us Lord
For the gifts we receive
Even when those gifts come
Shrouded by a veil of difficulties.
