Your two-line poem is written to form, and truly inspiring, my friend. Indeed, believing makes a world of difference for anyone, and studying God's word helps that faith grow until we step out in faith and claim victory!

Very nice poem. Background Image is very appropriate for words and seems like a created for poem itself. I like the way lines structured.
Thank you for sharing

Comment from lancellot
This is a very good and spiritually moving poem. Now, full disclosure: I did enter this contest too, but I say this to help you beat me. (yeah, i know that doesn't make sense). What concerns me are the words in the picture. I'm not sure how the committee voters will see them. Will they ignore them as part of the picture or count them as part of the poem. If they count them... Well, you know, right?

Lancellot.
Thanks so much for this great review. Yeah, I can see your point and how kind of you to point this out. I will search to see if I can find another picture that will work for me.
Your review, suggestion, and kindness are greatly appreciated.
Now I shall go and check out your entry.

Comment from Eternal Muse
A well done poem with very good scriptural references. It's a two line poem contest, but I see three lines on the screen. Sorry if I'm seeing it wrong.
Wonderful imagery, visuals, font and artistic presentation.
Good luck in the contest.

Thanks so much for your review, very kind comments, and best wishes; they are greatly appreciated. ( The line at the top is part of the artwork; hopefully, the judges will see only two lines) I appreciate you bringing this to my attention.
Blessings...Portia

I understand your point, but the judges (and a lot of people as well) can see it as three lines. If you don't want to take a risk, I would separate the artwork from the words. I see that the words in the first lines are part of the artwork, though. But taking a risk as your choice, of course.
Good luck in the contest.

Thanks so much for your kindness and suggestion. I did take it down a bit from the artwork.
Have a wonderful and blessed day.

Hi, Portia,
This is a simple, yet effective way to increase one's faith. The more we read the word, the more our faith increases exponentially. Through fellowship, we can get help from others when our lack of faith tries to surface.
Excellent poem.
Good luck.
Blessings,
Cindy

Comment from royowen
I think most of us realise that faith is simply not that easy. It's the only thing that's both fruit and gift, it's the role of the Holy Spirit to dispense the gift as He will, but it's the fruit that comes with incumbent Spirit, well done. Good job, blessings Roy

Comment from Wendy G
Therein lies the irony - exercising faith helps our unbelief, as we see examples of how God can powerfully answer the prayer of a person who asks in faith. Just a suggestion: I believe the two line poem needs an internal rhyme as well as an end of line rhyme.
Blessings to you for this thoughtful piece.

"Help My Unbelief", is short, succinct and spiritually-uplifting. With a minimum of words this talented poet's has told it as she sees it. Good luck with the contest. Please let me know how you get on?
