Not Enough

thought I did as best as I could

was proud of myself

now I know my best wasn't enough

am still being tested if my trust in God and others is enough

I truly understand what he meant

when the father of the boy with the evil spirit said

"I believe, help my unbelief!"*

desperate enough

to recognize his faith isn't enough

there's still a gap to bridge

a space to fill 

more steps to take 
only to accept
it's not I 
but you

my faith isn't enough

until it meets with the grace of God

*Mark 9:24
