Challenge

for thine challenge of will faces my very existence
now i scurry for no one but God, the Creator
i bow down to no other

challenge i will face with a whole heart
justified in faith 
certified in sin... as i repent my wrongs

devastated i stand and wish to be no longer

Lord hear my cry, help me be stronger! 

for thine challeges of daily tasks sometime seem impossible
are they really or is my strength failing me but why 
i know not the circumstances, so i turn away from it all and look towards the sky

i bear within me a spirit of will 
and i will overcome... i will defeat all my demons
not just some

And another Amen! This was so masterful. You have written the only power we as humans have: Choice. This is the end result when you use that power for the better. I am truly impressed.

And amen, and Amen. We must destroy the kingdom of darkness from our lives and the light shall shine out brightly as in Christ. Keep up the faith, it also gives others faith. Gidds
