An Argument for the Existence of God

An Argument for the Existence of God is a prayer of faith. I’m praying this today, and you can pray this prayer with me.

Today’s post is the eleventh one in the #write28days challenge, in which I’m participating during the month of February 2021. Today’s prompt is “Argument,” and here is my prayer/poem.

An Argument for the Existence of God

 

Father God,

If someone were to debate me

on your existence

I would surely point them

to the historic validity

of your scriptures

the endless recursive ways

your Word proves itself

true.

 

I would also walk them

outside

and point to the stars

clouds

trees

birds

flowers

and ask them

if anyone else

could ever make

something so fine

so beautiful

so holy.

 

But if they asked me

Why do YOU believe

in the existence of God?

This would be my argument.

 

Ten thousand times

you have worked a thousand things

together

to guide and direct my life.

No other life force

or series of coincidences

could work all those things

together

for my good.

 

Sermons, books, podcasts

conversations

billboards

blog posts

Bible verses

songs played without my request

all at just the right time

all traces of your Spirit

and arguments for your existence.

 

I would try to put into words

the way you have held me

when my grief was slicing

me open, when the moans

came from deep in my soul

and nothing, no one

else, not Percocet

or chocolate

or calls from my best friend

could comfort

me the way you did.

Though I could not see you

your presence was realer

than real, than my own fingers

typing this prayer poem.

 

I would list the thousand times

you, Jesus, showed up in the faces

eyes

smiles

hands

hugs

meals

gifts

offered by the body of Christ

my brothers and sisters

at the exact right time

sometimes compelled

by a feeling beyond themselves.

I just knew I needed to call

to pray

to make this for you

they say, but I know

it’s really you, Lord.

 

I may never win a debate

on an argument for the existence of God

in this world, but when you give me

glimpses

of the glory to come

I know someday

there will be no need to prove

your existence

because every knee will bow

every tongue will praise

and everyone will know

the great I AM.
