Mary Duhart Poet I do not know?

A Heavy Heart

Trying to walk this christian path gets harder by the day.
Sometimes I want to throw my hands up and scream out loudly-No Way!
I know it's wrong to feel  this way but yet it is a fact.
When I look at other's it all seems like an act.

Why I keep asking myself do saints fuss and fight.
They they turn and drill in you to do the things that right.
I see them stabbing each other in the back and they know that this is wrong.
Then they stand before you and try to bring you before the throne.

My heart is aching on this day because of things I've heard.
I'm trying so hard to shake things off but yet within I'm scared.
"If the righteous scarcely make it in" this road seems oh so tight.
I just pray and ask for strength so I will not lose this fight.

Ronald Bingham July 6, 2009 at 5:52 PM Mary the Lord may be testing your strength, He may have a more rewarding spot picked out for you. Just stand tall and let time and prayer show you what it is He is needing from you. Know this we all have those same feelings and that is what friends and prayer warriors are for. I pray that what ever burden is on you God will soon lift it. God truly Bless you and yours, your friend. Ron
