To believe is to obey

To believe is to obey.
I say I have faith.
I know I have weaknesses.
Some days I stumble.

Prayer is my help.
Even in my darkest moment.
When God is missing.
I pray in obedience.

Sin at every corner.
Waiting to snare and trap.
I have fallen into its pit.
In my struggle I pray.

My doubts, a darkness.
In a tangle of a noose.
The light almost snuffed out.
I pray in obedience.

I believe in God.
This is my faith.
I pray in obedience.
To believe is to obey.
