Find Your god

You may profess your faith,
attend services, pray, meditate,
know the liturgies, sing the hymns.
But your god, not the God of church,
but the source of your comfort,
the power you seek in time of need
is easy to identify even if no churches,
no monuments, no literature proclaims
the truth. Your god is the power your turn to
when you're in trouble. Is it a person?
A parent, a spouse, a friend?
Is it the oblivion of video games
or golf or running or hiding?
Is it food or alcohol, gambling or drugs,
sex or shopping or hitting people?
Do you seek money, wealth, privilege?
Tarot cards or a crystal ball?
What do you turn to first, without thought,
when you're in trouble of afraid?
Maybe it's God, but maybe your god
is something you know won't help.
It's scary. But the great thing is
you can abandon that god
and find a mighty power,
one able to lead you to peace and serenity.
