James 1:5-8 New International Version (NIV)
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
Doubt, do you see it?
It lives in your mind
Doubt is a thing
A thing you can find
Pick it up
Make it float
It is real
A toy boat.
Give it a picture
That you actually see
Not a word without walls
Give it something to be
So, now that my doubt
Is small and it’s real
I teach myself
That now I can feel
How easy it is
To touch and to lift
Now doubt belongs
In a place I can shift
It doesn’t control
My destiny
It cannot paint
My reality
How can a toy
Have so much power
Look how I stand
My moment, this hour
Is more than that toy
That sits on that shelf
Shoulders back
New learning
I scream
Power’s burning
Inside me now
I’ve grown so much stronger
Doubt can’t control
My mind any longer!
Rationalize
What doubt really is
It creeps in and tells you
You’re weak, so just fizz
Out, and live in the dumps
Where it likes to keep
Passion, creativity,
Dreams, way down deep
Can that tiny toy boat
Really make you believe?
That you deserve less
of what you will achieve?
Isn’t that silly?
Now that doubt is a thing
Now that you realize
What you must now bring
To your life
To your now
Fulfilling your dream!
Step back and say “wow
I’m great, I DESERVE!”
I won’t ever let doubt
Become anything more
I will set goals to a future
With passion I pour
All of myself into me
What I want to do
And doubt is a toy
I now kick with my shoe.
And I will achieve
More than ever before
Onward and upward
Three billion times four
Give boundaries, walls
To thoughts in your mind
Stacked on a shelf
So organized, you find
that when thoughts become
Something, real to be
You see what they are
And Simply, silly
It was, to give more
Power to think
Now that you know
You Simply just blink
Away empty doubt
Cause you see a new light
And you have conquered
Like a champion’s fight!
I am getting aboard! Thank you. My doubt boat has a sinking feeling…(that’s a good thing).
