My Journey to God

The Lesson

When I’m afraid, I’ve learned to turn
within myself to reach for one
who shares my soul and say his name
and trust in him to keep me whole.

When I am lost in his reality,
he shines away my winter-dark anxiety
and shields my heart from shards of fear.
But more than this, I’ve learned
that even when he hides his face,
he’s always, always there.
