True faith in God is not just words, Nor fleeting prayers that go unheard. It's not the ease of sunny days, But trust that holds through storms and waves. It walks the path when roads are steep, And finds its peace when others weep. It does not bend to fear or doubt, Nor seeks an easy, safer route. True faith is forged in trials deep, When promises seem hard to keep. Yet still, it stands with hands held high, Believing love won’t pass it by. It does not waver, shift, or break, Nor cling to God for its own sake. But rather, rests in what is true, That He is God in all we do. So when the night is long and cold, And hope feels distant, weak, and old, True faith still whispers, calm and bright, "My God is here, there is no night" By Jason Strickland
