Dancing in a House of Cards 

Lord, when I think

of all the things that can go wrong,

I feel like I’m living

in the proverbial house of cards.

One misplaced breath

will bring it all down.

I can’t imagine

going through life

without Your care,

Your vow to answer prayer,

Your admonition, “Fear not!,"

Your example of the birds of the air

and the lilies of the field.

So I thank You for Your protection,

provisions and promise

 of eternal life in Christ.

And I pray for those unaware

of Your existence

and how generous You are.

Please, open their eyes!
