42. A great competition

```

God and I

Entered into a great competition.

He pitted His Love

Against my teeming doubts.

Alas, He won.

I pitted my ingratitude

Against His flowing Compassion.

Alas, this time too, He won.

God, since twice I have lost to You,

I shall muster no more

Courage-light

To challenge Your superiority. ```
