This is a poem along the lines of the gospel bit that goes: “Lord, I believe. Help Thou my unbelief.” I think it’s an important state to acknowledge.
Doubter’s Prayer
Will You walk with me a while,
Even when I cannot stand?
Will You weep with me a while,
When all weeping seems vain?
Will You stay near me still,
Wherever I may wander?
Will You wait for me in welcome,
Though I come with nothing but questions?
Will You mother me with mercy
And father me with truth?
And when my own faith falters,
Will Your faith hold me fast?
Keep me kindly, oh King and Kin!
Love me dearly with Divine longing!
Seek my sorrowing soul and save me!
Lift my languishing life aloft,
And again and again, Oh! Carry me home!
Deo gloria! Deo gratias!
Until Eternity Is Now!
