Advent Prayer

As Faith came singing into the room,
other guests took flight.
Fear, Anxiety, Grief and Gloom speed out into the night.
I wondered how such peace could be, but Faith said gently,
"Don't you see? They really cannot live with me."

Faith doesn't require any input from the outside. It only needs the truth that comes from inside me; moreover, the drive to bring it with me, where ever I go.  Furthermore, I believe that it should never lead me blindly, but to carry on and sustain.
