From Praying to Knowing

The question of how it will all unfold,
sometimes can leave me so icy cold,
wondering if I can pass this test
while going without any rest.

When long-ago patterns again take form,
warning me of an approaching storm,
focusing sharply as I exhale,
I pray that, this test, I won’t fail.

But then, when the wonderment of it all
lifts me above the impending squall,
I can see clearly how much I’m growing,
and praying turns into knowing….

…knowing I’m walking a righteous road;
sure I can carry my current load;
trusting I’ll always know what to do
and what to say to get through.

In knowing I’ll have what it is I need,
I rest assured that I will succeed.
Faith that God’s blessings are ever flowing
allows me to keep on going!
