Faith

I wake up in the morning
Determined to chase my dreams
The moment I take a step towards success
Reality hits me hard
And it brings me down
My weaknesses and flaws stand as an obstacle between me and my success
I realize I am not good enough
Desires of heart fade away
Life seems to have lost its meaning
Images of bleak Future flash in my mind
I offer myself to God
The Almighty gives me the strength to stand up once again
The Creator leads me to the right path
All Knowing God, protects me when I go astray
He prepares me for struggles yet to come
I will fight the fight
I will run the race
I will never give up
I will accomplish His plans for me
The Lord is my shield and my refuge
I will sing praises to the Lord 
Serve and worship him forever

We wrote poems with the same title-- I can relate well to the struggles you so honestly portray-- we are all if fact 'broken', sinful, lost--every human who has ever lived--and like you, I find my strength of soul in the Lord. Congrats and may you and yours have a blessed 2020, Janet.
