I came across this poem a few years back when my son was fighting for his life. The surgeons had just spoken to me after hours of emergency surgery and had said that they had done all they could for him, the rest was between him and god. My faith was obviously being tested when this came to my attention. Faith in Doubt Our faith in God is easy when the Waters 'round are stilled, When the voyage undertaken finds Our dreams and hopes fulfilled. But holding on to God is hard When wrestling with our doubt, And when the storms are fiercest, And our boat is tossed about. It's then our faith is shaken, When the Master's sound asleep, Not knowing we are sinking, and The waters 'round are deep. We wonder then how He, Who's Lord Of all the land and sea, Could seem to be so unaware Of our catastrophe. It's when our faith seems weakest, God Will calm the sea and soul, And when we are most broken that He'll touch, and make us whole. poem by Sister Miriam Barker, C.D.
