Listening but not Acting

Anne Bradstreet:
Deliverance from a Fit of Fainting

Worthy art Thou, O Lord, of praise,
But ah! It's not in me.
My sinking heart I pray Thee raise
So shall I give it Thee.

My life as spider's webb's cut off,
Thus fainting have I said,
And living man no more shall see
But be in silence laid.

My feeble spirit Thou didst revive,
My doubting Thou didst chide,
And though as dead mad'st me alive,
I here a while might 'bide.

Why should I live but to Thy praise?
My life is hid with Thee.
O Lord, no longer be my days
Than I may fruitful be.

In this poem, I think Anne Bradstreet is saying that she knows all these things about God and that she knows she should be praising God in everything she does, but she cant bring herself to act on it. I think she is saying that even though she knows what she has to do she simply doesn't want to do those things. I think she is also telling us about how God saved her and gave her new hopes yet she still remained where she was in her life, she did not take advantage of the second chance God had given her.
