Pray
Take it to God, trust, pray.
That's what all the well-meaning Christians say.
A simple statement, but so much more implied,
Be more holy, and you'll be ok
If something's wrong, you're not close enough to God.
No, no, that's not what we mean, they claim.
But what is your answer if not sin causes all unexplained pain?
You throw out a solution to make you feel better
But it hits too hard to quickly recover.
While I know I didn't cause this
My mind is riddled with blame.
There was no tragedy, so what am I missing?
Like drowning in an ocean, the waves of shame overtake me
Gasping for air, I slowly resign...
How can I accept the life boat if I'm convinced I can save me?
But if I trusted God more, I wouldn't be sinking.
If I look in His eyes, surely the water can't rise.
I mean really, in all our world, every mind, around the globe,
Has anyone ever heard of Job?
