Father in heaven hold me fast.
Keep me rooted in your Word.
Let not the cares and tribulations,
   the shifting sands of life,
and uncertainties and doubts,
prey upon this soul of mine.
   Father, rout this fear
   from within my heart,
that I will not be lost to it,
    when troubles come.
I believe, help my unbelief.
    Lest I fall into despair,
build my faith on solid ground.
Grant me faith that's tried
         and true.
Let me feel it deep within,
   thine everlasting arms.
Please forgive this tepid soul,
   her doubts and fears.
    Shore me as a bulwark,
    strong and true.
A stanchion against the advisary.
So I may be your soldier strong,
to spread your word, bring forth
       your Love.
  My very life Your Glory.

"..and the prayer of faith shall save him."

Ellie, this is a true and lovely prayer of faith, seeking so many right things, by a heart attuned to God's will/way and power.
This seems to illustrate, to me the kind of faith mentioned in Hebrews 11:6, the kind which honors God and which He blesses.  Thank you for sharing with me your wonderful poetic prayer (& life).  God Bless you,  David

Yeah, what he said, David.  haha...kind of left me speechless Ellie.  Only part of a verse is coming to mind here and I'll be darned if I can find it at the moment...but what came to mind is ... Lest you reduce to me to nothing...
