Doubt

A thought enters my mind

Harmless, hopeful, enlightening

Tells me what I can find

In a place not so frightening

I open my soul's eye

In this new realm of listening

The voices question why

My spirit starts its wrestling

The thoughts overtake me

Infecting every good feeling

They start to steal my joy

Destroying, manipulating

I gave it all to them

Loving, hating, fulfilling

They never gave it back

Leaving me only suffering

Fighting for its return

Just gives me complete misery

Striving to win it back

Pulls me far into wandering

But another thought comes

My heart and soul begin singing

New wisdom takes over

It stops and kills constant wondering

A life in ruins restored

To the way it was made to be

Doubtful thoughts reformed

As words of comfort, admiring

Spirit of truth prevails

Reminding of what is coming

The life it fills reborn

Cleaning the last of suffering

But the end is not now

The father's plans don't stop just yet

God doesn't wonder how

All his plots are already set

We suffer affliction

No honest one says contrary

We weather difficulty

But He turns it to victory
