I believe in You

Lord, even though it feels like the world is standing on its head

and sticking out its tongue at me,

I believe in You.

I feel outnumbered, but I believe You are for me and with me.

Even when I do not know where to go or what to do next, You guide me.

You are there every step of the way.

You light my path.

You remind me that there is none like You.

When I don't see the quiet waters and Heidi's green pastures, You still provide.

Every day enough.

When I can't hear You or feel You, You do not leave me.

I believe in You.

I believe your mercies are new every morning.

I believe in You.

By now I know that there are no magic formulas to get You to do things,

You are not influenced by positive thinking or confessions,

You simply are.

I don't think You care about what people wrote about You

or about how You operate.

You just are God. Fullstop.

You have all the authority in heaven and earth and

yet You don't run around trying to impress people.

I am tired and I'm not even going to attempt to describe You,

I just know You are there and I believe in You.

No matter what.
