Releasing In the Night

This woman that I see is worn down she is full of heartache and stress she has carried a load that is too heavy for her. She is carrying the burdens of others as well as her own she tries to be superwoman and feels as if she is a failure if she does not carry different tasks. She feels she will fail others if she doesn't keep her words at night she is crying her eyes out and is loosing sleep. Her heart and her mind are in two different places she is disconnected with her soul and she has lost touch with reality. Many are on her back and many are looking to her to find solutions to all the problems. But little do they realize that she is only human she can only carry so much but as soon as she began to release all the tension at the midnight hour she seeked a higher power to guide her through the storm. She had gotten so caught up with her own life that she forgot about who carried all the burdens who carried her through the storms. She cried out the name of Jesus who she had known all of her life the same one her mama called on the same one her grandmother called on and all the generations before her. As her ancestors gathered around her to give her the strength that she needed she got up and went back into the battlefield
