I Want To Bring My Faith Back

I put my fate on heaven’s hand To lead me to what was written No more debate, no angry stand Time teaches me how to listen Outside the gate a lonelier land Gloominess has me imprisoned Hope it’s not late to join the band To chant refrain of repentance. Image: From Internet

Nice poem. I'd add "ed" to "imprisoned." There is no anger or debate in true religion, including loving non-religion. Only inner peace and the ability to show love to oneself and others.

Thank you for the correction. I'm just a complicated person searching for a place where I should belong. Skeptical on things especially about religion. Hopefully, one day I will find my inner peace. Thank you.

I hear you, but I remember this Galileo quote. We just have to remember not to let our imaginations run too far away from 'reality' (which will punish us if we use our imaginations to build on foundations that are not actually there!)

Thank you so much. Yeah, I know, I read some of your stuff and definitely they exposed a lot of truth. To be honest I admire it. Though, I don't want to complicate everything sometimes. But my faith still complicated to explain in the eyes of the child.

There are moments were we tend to go astray and come back once we realize our mistakes.

Faith comes through conviction but religion provides me no solace why knock at heaven's gate when love is all one need.

I think I would agree. Though sometime we need religion for reason.

Gloominess and depression certainly does tie people up, when w we remember a and meditate on what Christ accomplished for us it's much easier to s see the sunlight or silver lining
