Twinkling Faith

[Lorenzo]

Lord Jesus, through Your infinite wisdom,
You permit trials to cross my path.

[Lorenzo]

Suddenly my faith twinkles in despair,
Casting doubts upon my delicate soul.
I then boldly dispute Your infinite love,
Overlooking past blessings received.

[Lorenzo]

Please disregard such oblivious acts,
They being reactions of a corporeal nature;
Not truly a reflection of my loyal soul
And its immense longing for Your Presence.

[Lorenzo]

Let not evil forces weaken my faith,
Especially when I need You the most.

[Lorenzo]

Hasten Your Holy Spirit to my assistance,
To booster my faith into a flare.
I trust You will attend to my daily needs,
And keep me as Your child forever.
Praise be Your infinite goodness:
You truly are the Comforter of mankind.

twinkling... what a way to describe faith.  it soothes.  it doesn't burn.  it affects gently.  it doesn't prod.  twinkling.  as in the heaven's stars and the valley's fireflies.  they flicker and glimmer.  and inspire.
