excerpt from A Liturgy for Nights and Days of Doubt from the book, Every Moment Holy by Douglas McKelvey
In Your presence I can offer my questions,
knowing you are never threatened by my uncertainties.
They do not change your truth,
My doubts cannot unseat your promises,
You are a rock, O Christ,
and your truth is a bulwark
that I might dash myself against,
until my strength is spent
and I collapse at last in despair.
only then to feel the tenderness of
your embrace as you stoop to gather me to yourself,
drawing me to your breast and cradling me there,
where I find I am held again by a love that
even my doubts cannot undo.
Whatever you are facing today, I pray that you feel yourself drawn to the breast of the Lord and know you are held by a love that even your doubts cannot undo.
