Light streamed the top edge
Of my door; I wondered what
This day has in store?
I learned the answer
Clear and fair; God provided
For my earnest prayer.
A day of blessing
It came to be because he
Filled my heartfelt plea.
A plaguing problem
Needed a solution; solved
By his provision.
Oh how it had nagged
At me until I felt in
Deep despairing need.
I so anguished and
Agonized for days not quite
Trusting God has a way.
Suddenly a plan
Came to be as God seemed to
Say, “believe in me.”
And just as he has
Provided before, he soon
sent help to my door.
Why do I not trust
And believe that Jesus in
His love cares for me?
He who for my sins
Died so I may live in him
In faith and new life?
Why did I question
For days if God did hear when
I so wept and prayed?
I had doubted him
With a frown though he told me
to not be cast down.
His love is sure and
Everlasting; he always
There, ne’er forsaking.
Lo, he listens to
Me and answers in his own
Time so patiently.
Sweet peace now nurtured
My soul; must remember: God
Is ever faithful.
Whether at noon, morn,
Or at night, he’s my hope; a
Constant stream of light.
I have attempted another haiku challenge from Ronovan Writes blog using the words “top” and “light”. I am enjoying the challenge of putting different and even opposite words in such a short poem. If you like challenges and haiku’s then I invite you to also accept his latest challenge at this link: https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/category/haiku-prompt-challenge/
I am also participating in a photo challenge with the word “door”. This certainly adds a bit more challenge to the haiku! To find out more about word photo challenges visit this site: https://thearanartisan.com/photo-challenge-words-2016/
