it’s hard to focus your mind on the things up above when you’re constantly tempted by your flesh and distracted by worldly love.
two roads diverged at a yellow wood; the beginning of this year I knew exactly where i stood. but as 2016 begins to come to a close im more confused than ever.
wondering if i can get my act together, i find myself wishing i could turn back, because moving forward seems to require things that i lack and i don’t know if im ready. but they tell me as long as i keep moving steady i’ll find my way, they tell me i’ll be okay.
but that’s kind of hard to believe based on everything that i’ve seen so i try to walk by faith and not by sight, with the key word being try because i don’t know if the direction im headed in is exactly right. i put all my faith into you, because at this point that’s all i can do. your word says that no weapons formed against me shall prosper, as long as i have you i can overcome all this hurt.
but God ive heard that promise before and i don’t know if i believe it anymore.
promises like that sound too good to be true, even coming from you. everyday presents another test that im unprepared for and i seem to always fail. i am weak Lord, but im sure by now you can tell. but i know that while my flesh is weak, my spirit is willing and you are strong.
and i know that no decision you’ve ever made has ever been wrong. and i know that you love me more than i fathom, even on my worst days. you’re able to forgive me for all my ungodly behavior, even my worst ways.
and i know that you’re faithful even when I’m faithless and just because this life isn’t painless that doesn’t mean im alone, you’ve heard my cry and pitied every groan.
so God my promise to you is that every time the going gets rough, i’ll remember that i have you and your love alone is enough.
with you i cannot fail
