Seek and You Shall Find

When I ignore the good in me and concentrate on each mistake, I am my own worst enemy and will not give myself a break. In isolation I create, my mind becomes a lonely fort. It’s then I realize that, if I only ask, I’ll find support from family, the Lord, and friends when I am feeling low and weak. The Holy Bible states that we will find if we, believing, seek.

Congratulations on your win with this poem of six lines about faith. I have a few of those head tapes I play, not near as much as I used to. Isn't it weird that when all else fails is when most of us ask for relief or help? A great poem of inspiration.

Certain people are more prone to judge themselves than others, so it's very nice that you have prayer to help you in this. I like how you wrote about it in your six line poem.

...providing one is not on the wide path. "The prayer of a righteous man availeth much" I would imagine overlooking your goodness would be a task in itself:) Good luck, Janice.
