The Rotten Believer: A Poem

Faith, a fleeting thing,
Is a mist that appears for no reason 
Vanishing at the slightest happenstance 
Unwieldy, uncontrollable 
A ray of sunshine peeking through clouds
A gift granted momentarily from on high
Then removed

God gives and God takes away
Making me a doubter for Him
Disbelief, my closest friend
Save only for the Giver of disbelief 

Shifting sand
Weakness and fragility 
Compels me to echo this truth:
Salvation belongs to God

God, you will me to be
and to be a doubter for you,
A frail, small, rotten believer
Thy will be done
