Prodigal Chronicles: Inability
Inability
by Joel Howard
From the Prodigal Chronicles series
It’s funny and yet daunting
Both scary and haunting
This pattern
This theme:
My inability
It’s like somebody’s watching
I’m scared of what I’m finding
This revelation never stopping:
My inability
Inability to breathe or even speak
Without You holding me
O Father
The constant for me now
Is that without slowing down
And without You around
I’m nothing
My ability to see
Is less dependent upon me
And more about my constant weakness
I cannot even claim
To do anything
Without Your perfect Name
Surrounding everything
It’s Your refrain!
The fact that You came
When I was far away
You found me
I’m home again
Remind me who I am
Remind me once again
I’m drowning
Both in Your love for me
And in my inability again
