Out of Control

Oh Lord, my time is running out.
Obedience, I try, but my flesh is weak. 
Overwhelmed with life, I shout. 
Outnumbered by my own feelings, 
Over-spilling, yet it's my own undoing. 
Obstacles come from every direction slapping my cheek.
Over and over, steering, jerking me, left to right 
Out of control at moments, it bites. 
Once again Lord, stand by my side, unfurl 
Outstretched arms and take control of my world.

Dear Eva, You've described our World so perfectly. I think most of us share your feelings ~ we've lost control of almost everything. I hope your prayers are answered.
