Our having faith
Doesn’t make anything easier.
On the contrary,
It makes everything crazier.

We believe in stuff
We can’t see or touch.
We give our time and thoughts
To it a bit much.

We hope,
We yearn,
We beg,
Till we learn.

Having faith
Is a two-way street,
Where our desires and hard work
Have to half-way meet.

For if the One you trust
Is omniscient and powerful,
He is also fair,
Not just another to strings pull.

So get off that couch
And pull yourself together.
For just waiting around
Won’t change the weather.
