Worst Enemy

Worst Enemy Finally identified my enemy He has been there for years Much to worry about He is kind and won't let me be. Undisciplined I guess He knows my weakness Uses them as a master Like a game of chess. Day after day Night after night A security system Can’t keep him at bay. The power to win Cannot come from within It has to be powerful Enough to quit sin. God, help me to dig deep Change my will power Give me wisdom Help me sleep. I am my worst enemy I’m so weak against Satan Give me the discipline to wear Your armor Your armor can protect me. As I sit in the den Food, obesity is my sin Followed by one other you know well Thanks for forgiveness as I try again, Amen

Self-forgiveness is the hardest forgiveness to strive for. Well done!

I enjoyed reading your poem, and see where you are coming from. One thing to remember is that power does come from within, for 'Greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world'.1 John 4:4. Also 'I can do all things through CHRIST that strengthens me'. Philippians 4:13. Can't do it on your own.Jesus defeated Satan, he's lost, in Christ you win. Blessings, Vivien
