Turn Payback Into Praise
at some point in your life a wrong was done to you
and you want to pay someone back for all the hurt that you've accrued
but to go on a mission of vengeance and do a wrong for a wrong
the payback spirit can overtake you away from God where you belong
a payback spirit of vengeance can completely consume you with strife
lead you to self destruction and totally mess up your life
while Hannah remained barren, she could not bear a child
Peninnah kept provoking her and that went on for a while
Hannah was feeling anguish and depression, she went to the temple to pray
she asked The Lord to remove that payback spirit and show her a better way
Hannah wept tears of sorrow, Hannah wept tears of shame
she was provoked to silently pray for a child in The Lord God's name
the essence of this scripture is that we all desire to do as The Lord does say
yet sometimes circumstances will not allow you to obey
just look to The Lord and stretch your hands to He
get down on your knees and pray He strengthens thee
there will be times that you will fall down, just let The Holy Spirit lift you up
come unto Jesus Christ and let Him refill your spiritual cup
do what Jesus would do, whenever He'd hit a solid wall
turn all your problems over to Father God and give to Him your all
you might have to swallow a very bitter pill
run through a gauntlet or go through the mill
throw off those garments of heaviness and utter despair
remove that payback spirit from your heart and give God all your cares
don't forget that God always has you on His mind
He will give you what you most want, but only in His own time
some things in life just take time, some things will just appear
God won't give you what you want until you are prepared
let go of that payback spirit and all the garbage in your life
pour out your soul to Jehovah Gyrah, Jesus The Lord Christ
In the course of time Hannah finally did give birth
she had a son named Samuel, who became God's prophet here on earth
as The Bible states, you have not because you've asked not
but Hannah dared asked for a son and that was what she got
when you open up your heart and let The Holy Spirit within
and place all in Jehovah's hand, God will come in
for It's not just about you, so don't take It personally
God works best through those who know about humility
let go of the provocation and let your hands to God be raised
and turn that payback spirit into total Godly praise
