Battle of the Mind

Battle of the Mind


I cannot pray
I feel empty
I feel dry
My mind
 Keeps going astray

Searching for the passion,
I kneel, I bow
I stand, I walk
Fighting my way back 
-	To the same line of praise

Many thoughts vying for my attention

Too much reasoning
Is it possible? 
Is it right?
To empty one’s mind 
-	of all thinking?

So I restart the worship
But ,
 One line of sincere praise
And the mind wanders again
It’s a battleground!

It’s another season of waiting
- I know

So I am hopeful, confident that
He will pour in me 
A new awakening! 

Praise God!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
