Help
Help
Fatigued, vexed, distressed, incensed
My world feels like a cyclone that won't end
My head is revolving and my hands can't even reach up to help brace it
What is this and why
Why does it have to be this hard
Why me…why me
Is my faith not strong enough
My praise no good
Have I caused you so much shame that I can't have any sunshine
You have all power in your hands
You can change the unchangeable
Why this warring in my inner man
Why me…why me
When do the battles cease
Why can't I stay on the road I am suppose to be on
Why is misery always at my door
You give me everything I need
And I find some way to muddle it
What is wrong with me
I say I try but am I really trying
My mind is perplexed
My posture is weak
My spirit is depleted
A part of me wants to give up so bad
But then another part is holding on for dear life
That's the warring I feel
Every time I want to say forget it…I can't
I try to not let the thoughts even enter my mind
I try not to leave myself open for this
I fail every time
I try and encourage myself because I have learned sometimes we must do it for ourselves
I thought I was growing in you
I thought
I know there are hills to climb and mountains to cast down
I know there are valleys to walk through
I know there are winds that will blow and waters that may not want to cease
I also know that you are the Alpha and Omega
My doubt does not sit in you…oh no
But in me
What is my destiny and why is it so hard to get there
I need to get out of this maze
I'm asking for help.
Amen.
