Prayer and Promises

This book of poetry and verse is the story of my journey and possibly yours. This journey seeks answers to doubts within the desire to walk closer with our God. My hope is that sharing my story will bring us closer together. Some parts of my journey may not resonate with you and your experience, yet I hope our shared love for God will unite us. Through meditation, we can feel consoled in our failings and begin to understand the wonderful transformation happening to us. Once we recognize the beginnings of a transforming self, we will find it easier to step aside from the old self and let this transforming self take over. Be patient with the transformation.

I express my doubt and my struggles with doubt. But I have realized this doubt diminishes my ego, greed, and self-appreciation. With doubt comes a deep longing to search for answers. So we dare to move into the cloud full of doubt in faith, aware that a full cloud brings much-needed rain for plants to grow. But we experiencing doubt will find it chiseling away our old self-assurances, and we realize our nakedness and need of God.
