Shallow

I walk a narrow path
In the shallow waters,
Afraid of the turbulence
I see further out.
Yet there is a peace
That hovers unseen,
A promise to be kept
By You…that with faith
I would feel no fear,
For You are my life saver,
My one redeemer,
And still in the shallow I remain.

Fear is like a boat
…that takes in water,
A sense of sinking,
Going down.
No allowances for movement
…or growth
Holds me back,
And faith, my faith suffers.
My feet on solid ground
Barely touching
Water's edge,
This I can handle.
But to step into the waves,
Having nothing tangible
To see, to touch
Paralyzes  me with dread.

I am like Thomas, a believer
…but with doubt.

I have many questions
…and so few answers.

Dear Lord
…suffer me,
Frail as I am.
Be the Captain of my ship
That I might sail
Across the waters of my fear
…to safe harbor.
