Testing Our Faith

"So much tragedy in the world, with innocent people dying, earthquakes, Tsunami, and wars, brings me to my knees, racked with anger, frustration and anguished crying"

"Why my Lord do you test our faith, with such ferocity, pain and relentless suffering...Can't you see in our eyes that we can take no more, show us a miracle so our faith will remain unwavering"

"Why test our faith in such a tragic and inhumane manner, when you could easily reverse this by destroying evil, hunger, murder and every evil other"

"Can you not see your Kingdom is crumbling, your disciples are fewer with lost faith, and little understanding...Talk to us and let us know you're real, help us to forgive ourselves for our ignorance and petty greedy zeal"

"No sooner do you bring life into the world with a newborn son or daughter, bringing rapturous joy and merryment.. then in the same breath you remove this life and take back what you gave us, only to watch us crumble to our knees, in heaped despair and in defeat, testing our faith, you dare us"...

"My faith remains for now my Lord, but I fear it's fast fading..I don't wish to lose this faith, but inside i am slowly dying...I don't want, and I don't need, just an understanding, any sort will do, and I promise you this, with my word and my bond..my faith will remain true and unto you.."

About this poem:
Our faith is always being tested in the most saddest and painful way at times....It's hard to keep one's faith, I know.

Heartfelt "K" and a powerful write!

I can understand the questioning behind such faith..
We all are tested every day of our lives..in different ways,
It is to us that the power be..to make changes..so that he smiles down on us..or frowns if we make the wrong choices..thumbs up

Ljj..cool angel

K: you voice questions that humans have pondered since dawn. I think we will always ponder them, and should. from time-to-time we need to restate it again, for ourselves, surely God knows our questions and answers. Thank you.

I loved this poem....Yes at times our Faith is put to the hardest test,seems so Soul destroying,but always He gives us the strength to bear it.He does not give us more than we can handle,He is always near maybe at the end of that trial or He makes us pass through and come forth unscathed from its fires to make our Faith stronger.Dont lose Faith dear heart.It is sad what is happening in today's world.But I guess the world is taking a downward plunge to disaster and people have to realize and stop.God bless you: peace

Beautiful poem! Please don't lose faith. Death is not the worst thing a person can endure. Evil is the worst so stay faithful so there is one less person in the world who does evil.

I think it is one of those unfortunate things in life, though, we have to know wrong to know right, likewise if we didn't know evil, how would we set the benchmark for good?......Good poem,"K", thankyou for posting........Andrew.
