Like Char-Burnt Toast, Doubt Is Out!!

My Life Was In The Toilet
I Had ... No Way Out!
But, Then
I Recognized
That I Was Seeing My Life
Through Eyes That Could Not See Out!

I Stopped
AND
I Thought ... For A Moment:

Am I Not A Child Of God?!
Why Am I Thinking ... Hopeless
When
My Father Is The Eternal God?!

I Took A Step
AND
Then I Took Another
AND
I Stopped ... In The Valley Of Decision
AND
That Is When I Finally Realized That
Jesus' Faith
AND
My Very Human Human Doubt
Were About To Have A Cataclysmic Collision!

Did I Believe God?
Did I Trust The Lord?
Did I Hope In The Eternal God
BECAUSE OF
Living Faith
OR
Was I A Doubting Man
Turbulently Tossed
Double-Minded
Wavering In The Crushing Wind
At Sea
Weak
Worried
Wondering
What, Lord, Is To Be Come Of Me?!

I Breathed Deeply!
Air Filled My Trembling Chest
AND
That Is When I Firmed My Resolve
AND
Decided To Give The Eternal God
- My Everlasting Father -
Control Of My Needing-Healing Head
AND
The Lying Heart In My Chest!

Father,
You Are Faithful!
Father,
I Am Weak!
Father,
Please Take Care Of Me
For
I Cannot The Plain Way See That I Seek!

I Let Go, Lord, Of These Problems!
My Shoulders Are Not Big Enough!
I Give To You My Burden - I Love You
Please Guide Me
Through Changing-Life's Roundabout!

I Thank You, Lord
For My Blessing!
I Thank You, Lord
For The Word Of Truth!
I Thank You, Lord
For The Certain Hope Of Tomorrow!
Bless Me Again
For
I Am Totally Dependent Upon You!

I Laid Me Down
AND
I Slept In Peace
AND
In The Morning
I Awakened
AND
Praise Be To The God Most High
My Heavy Burden
From What Used To Be A Heavy Heavy Heart
Had Unmistakably
Been Taken!

I Shouted:

Glory! Hallelujah!
Praise To The God Above!
Thank You, Lord
For The Soul Comfort!
Thank You, Lord
For Everlasting Love!

I Do Not Claim
That Life Is Perfect!
I Do Claim Kinship
To The Perfect God Above
AND
I Choose
To Remember Each Day
That The God Above
To Whom My Life I Gave
Laid Down His Life For Me
AND
Still
Got Up From The Dead Man's Cold Grave
AND
I Now Walk
No More A Prisoner
No More A Doubter
No More To Self
A Mindless Slave!

I'm Free
Of All The Burdens
That Drain Away Man's Life!
I Am Free
Of All The Burdens
That Bog Man Down In Strife!
I Am Free
To Walk
In Faith
By Grace
AND
I Am Free
The Praises Of The Glorious King
To Mouth And Shout About!

Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow
Upon Fallen Man
On This Earth Below!
Praise Father
Son
AND
Holy Ghost
Doubt ... In My Life
Is Thrown Down
Cast Out
Not Good For Anything
Just Like So Much Char-Burnt Toast!


Human Eyes See What Is Was!
God's Eyes
See What Shall Be
- For Us -
A Prosperously Glorious Eternity

**--** WHEN **--**

We 
Trust Him
To Lead Us
Out Of
Doubt's ... Raging Sea!
