Trusting God

“We have our fill of contempt.

Our souls are more than sated

with mockery from the insolent,

with contempt from the arrogant.”[1]

“There is one joy to be

found in biting need.

There is a consolation

when under the darkest clouds.”[2]

Faced with desolation,

we have an opportunity

to trust and confide

in a good and loving God.

Trust that all will be well.

Confidence that all is well.

Our consolation

is not a quid pro quo.

In these troublesome times

we have an opportunity

with fear and trembling

to embrace Divine possibilities
