Helping Me Decide

Between good and bad,
the conscience constantly rambles.
Good verses evil.
Life verses death.
God verses Satan.
Aggressive the decisions,
threatening the effects.
Cheating the evil one
deceiptfully plays his games.
Ever vigilant you stand,
at the gate of my heart and mind.
Keeping me watchful,
sheltering and shielding
from attacks.
When I came to you,
you took care,
you took charge;
gave me defence and security.
You became a father figure,
a protector, 
and refuge.
A helper in leading me,
down the paths of righteousness.
Helping me decide
right from wrong.
