Increasing Faith

God of His presence makes us fully aware,
That to talk to him only requires a prayer;
A steady and growing faith and to trust,
That His actions will be true and just;
Our faith gives reality what we hope for,
And our dreams spread wings for to soar;
With our faith to give a rest to our fears,
And times of sorrow to dry up the tears;
Our faith to increase to build our courage,
When failures come it will not discourage;
By putting our trust in God we can dare,
Bear witness to God's Word and declare;
All to know what God has said and done,
And that Jesus Christ is second to none;
Anxiety and fear can make us confused,
Causing our hearts to become bruised;
But our faith in the Lord gives us respect,
Rid of the negativity our body was infect;
For the faith produces love that is bright,
That fills our heart with joy and delight.
