Struggling with Conversion

What's up, Caleb.  Good question.

Struggling with Conversion

"... it is a mistake to think that God is inside of us
or inside of inanimate things."
                                — a television preacher

Some days I almost do it, turn my --line break after 'turn' ?
Heart over to the One, to the Son,
So lonely on this Earth I pass my time, --what does lonely look like? I like how lonliness (and desperation) puts God as a last resort
So little on this Earth in which to place
My incapacitated faith –this implies prior struggle. why?
Not in men, though; no, not in them. --why just men?

Yes, today, again, I almost did it, i like assault of commas here
Although I knew it must be Wrong cut this line?
To think of God as separate from
A flower, a tree, a song – or too High
To share in painful things, like this hour; I can appreciate the voice of this stanza; it follows the opening line's punctuation well
Yes, God must be in everything –

Not just in the Son, or in his myth,
Or in his father's book of fear, smart contrast of new and old testaments 
Or in Death's sickle come to grab us,
But in our hearts and tears; in this old the lines of this stanza descend upon the reader but land softly; this is my favorite stanza
Broken chair losing stuffing to the floor, and good image contrast
Like my life – in that also there is God, cut 'like' ?

If God be at all. I infer the inconsistency in capitalization between father and God is intentional

This poem gets stronger as it goes.  Strengthen the first stanza? Great lines!

=============

I tried not capitalizing the first word of every line, and didn't like the way it looked.
