POEM: "The Faith That Does Not Waver: Calmly Waiting for the Divine to Act."

Trust in God even though the world around you is crumbling.

When disaster comes with the fury of a hurricane, when expectations are dashed and confidence is shaken, the only option is to keep going.

One thing is certain to always stay the same, no matter what else changes

.

I called out to God as I saw everything I had burn to the ground. To find some solace in this broken world, I cried through the night even though I couldn't see Him.

In the rubble of my old home, a holy flame, a brilliant beacon of light, showed me the way.

One heard a soft voice say, "Have faith, I will repair."

I will never lose trust in You, God, since I know that You control an army of unseen angels and miracles.

Hidden yet bustling; a hub of hope and activity.

While I hold on to hope throughout this time of waiting, I remind myself that true strength may be found in surrendering.

From the rubble, fresh hopes arise.

Grace is something I discover in each new moment, in each lovely dawn, since every difficulty is a chance for progress.

A chance to grow mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Because of my stubborn determination and boundless fortitude, I will not let the difficulties I confront contain or define me, no matter how long they endure.

As I begin to rebuild my life piece by piece.

With hope as my guide, I shall rise like the phoenix out of the ashes of failure and despair.

For I have seen God hand at work, and I know that he cares for me even now.

Therefore, individuals who are poor, broken, or suffering should find comfort in the idea that God is there even in the midst of the worst of circumstances.

Love is plentiful even in the face of disaster.

Strong resolve rings out in the face of adversity: "I lost everything, but in God I found."

A firm belief that has aided me in keeping my health in good shape.

I have faith and am willing to wait.

Since I know God is with me everywhere I go, I take each new action with the expectation that it will lead to something wonderful.
