Figure It Out For Yourself

God Gave us FREE WILL..
When we figure out our problems ourselves..there comes a true gratification.



Figure it Out for YOURSELF


My Father I ask you..
what do I do.
Can't figure it out..
need a moment with you.

My prayers seem unanswered..
My strength almost gone.
Please give me the will..
to carry on.

I heard quite softly
a voice in my mind.
"I gave you free will..
never left you behind.
The strength that you search for
is always within your reach.
Remember I love you..
It's your heart you must teach."

So I reminded myself..that I am quite strong.
Been through many challenges..all life long.
I have picked myself up..before many times.
Will comes from soul..it never confines.
So I taught my heart..that it's about time.
To bask in the sun..enjoy the wine.

So when we feel our strength is gone.
Reach into your soul..know you belong.
Your soul is priceless..LIFE'S not about wealth..
but God wants you to figure it out for yourself.

My favorite question.."What's in your soul?" What makes you commit..to self-control. So fill yourself with good not greed. Help yourself and those in need. Life doesn't have to be a grueling test.. as long as we TRY and do our best. :)
