How sincere or earnest

Our petition,

He makes us think

Our faith still seems

Too weak.

Or that our love

For God the Father,

Still seems too meek.

And thus,

By causing us incessant grief

And consternation,

He tries to make us

Blame the Lord

For all his,

Heartless accusations.

In the end,

Satan strives

To make us spurn,

The Still Small Voice

Of conviction,1 Kings 19:11-12

By leading us to think

That God is the one,

Who is always

Taunting us

With hurtful words,

And harsh sounding,

Angry accusations,

Saying,

"Surely anyone

Who really loves the Lord,

Would never feel this way."

But God,

Is not the author

Of our consternation,

Nor do we ever

Need to heed,

Satan's softly spoken words

Of condemnation.

For even though

We know the Holy Spirit,

Often must remind us,Proverbs 1:20-30

We also know,

That He will never

Chide us,

Nor deride us,

Nor will He ever

Rub it in,

Or try to make us

Feel small.

So the very next time,

When you start to hear

A holy sounding
