Rising From Failures
From failures after pity party, I rise, upheld by God’s mercy*
Directed toward faith-performance ascent
Pressing on, vanquishing doubts.
Fervently following biblical instruction
I strive against frustration-pulls
Overcoming distresses caused by pity party.
Allowing not my spirit to wallow in misery
Midst desperation-attacks, I persist after pity party
While the Lord steers me upward.
*Psalm 33:22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
(Series of Tristich)
