Struggle

AUTHORS NOTE

I am going though a struggle right now in my Christian life. I believe God wants me to share it with you through a poem.

___________________________

STRUGGLE

Lord hear my plea.

From my affliction,

Would you relieve me.

I don't know what to do.

Help me to hand the situation over to you.

This struggle leaves me so tired and worn.

I feel like I don't know where to turn.

Help draw me toward you.

Only you know what to do.

Send some relief my way.

So I don't worry day by day.

You made me with a tender heart.

There are times I feel like I am falling apart.

Help me Lord with this struggle.

Let others see I need prayer and guidence.

Lord hear my prayer.

I know You are with me everywhere.

Lord please give peace to mind.

And please don't leave me behind.

Sometimes nothing makes since.

And it leave me feeling tense.

Where I have sinned,

Forgive me Lord.

I am not perfect,

And on this earth,

I never will be.

But in Heaven,

I will have a new body.

Show me what to do,

Concerning where I am with You.

I don't know why I am going through this Lord.

But through it let me serve you.

Let Your light lead my footsteps,

In order to show me what to do.

Sometimes this struggle feels like it is to much to bear.

Will you help me with the load,

While showing me that you care.

Let what I am going through,

Glorify you.

And let me help a fellow Christian feeling like I do,

And let all the glory go to you.

Writing this poem has made me feel better. It helps me to get my feelings out. I am struggling with this inner conflict. It is hard to talk about. I ask God many times why I am going though this. Sometimes it can get really bad to the point where I question my salvation. But them I remember prayers God has answered. I do have a tender heart. I get upset very easily. I am going to go visit one of my friends tomorrow. Many times I have texted her and I have asked her to pray for me, but I never tell her why. I would love to talk to her about it, but it is hard to bring it up. And I am afraid that if I start talking I will cry. I cry very easily. I let stuff bother too much. Stuff that is out of my control sometimes. And I know I have written about not worrying, but it is hard to take your own advice sometimes. If any of you are going through something similar, or you are struggling in some other way, message me and I would love to talk to you. I think God brings Christians together to comfort each other. I have talked to several people on this website and I have requested prayer for my self or someone else, and they pray. I talk about what I am going through sometimes as well. My mom says I need to have more faith, and that is true, I do. She also says I need to let it go. What she means is that I need to let the worry go. But it can be hard. Thank you for reading and listening.

Let God get all the glory and credit in everything I do.

God bless!! :)
