CHANGE MY WAYS

I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE
THE PIT OF DESPAIR I HAVE FELL IN
MY HEART KNOWS THAT WITH JESUS
PEACE MY HEART CAN FIND ONCE AGAIN

BUT THE DEVIL SAYS  "I, AM HUMAN
WATCH FOR THE BREAK IN MY WALL"
THEN ATTACK ME WITH SELF PITY
AND BE CONFIDENT THAT I WILL FALL

I KNOW WHERE ALL THE CURES LIE
TO THE PROBLEMS THAT BESIEGE ME
I KNOW THE ANSWERS ARE IN JESUS
FOR ONLY HE CAN SET ME FREE

THE HURT OF ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP
GONE WRONG ONCE AGAIN
CONVINCING MYSELF I FOLLOWED GOD'S CALL
KNOWING I, AM LYING AND THAT'S A SIN

WANTING ALL THE RIGHT FOR ME
BUT NEVER REALLY STEPPING OUT OF THE BOAT
I TALK A GOOD GAME PLAN
BUT I SINK BEFORE I CAN FLOAT

MY MIND CONSTANTLY SURRENDERS
TO ALL MY HEART WISHES TO DO
MY SPIRIT SAYS "GET UP AND GET OUT"
BUT THE DEVIL KNOWS HOW TO KEEP ME BLUE

DROWNING ME IN SELF PITY
SORROW AND REGRETS OF MY LIFE
BUT MY SOUL CRIES OUT DON'T LISTEN
GO TO YOUR SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST

OH LORD I LISTEN DAILY
TO HOW YOU CAN CHANGE ALL OF MY WAYS
AND MY HEART AND SOUL ARE WILLING
BUT MY PHYSICAL MIND SHUTS THEM OUT EACH DAY

HELP ME MY LORD JESUS
TO BECOME ALL YOU WANT ME TO BE
LIFT THE CURSE OF LAZINESS AND SELF PITY
THAT THE DEVIL ENJOYS PLACING IN ME

LET ME WALK THE TALK I TALK
LET THE EXAMPLES I SHARE COME TO LIFE
TAKE MY HEART, MIND, SOUL AND SPIRIT
AND USE ME MY JESUS CHRIST

GIVE ME STRENGTH AND WISDOM LORD
EYES OF YOURS TO TRULY SEE THROUGH
JESUS MAKE THIS DEVIL FLEE FROM ME
FOR I WANT TO SERVE AND OBEY YOU

Rose Mary; You faith is strong and you know from where your healing comes, so all you need do, is what you've done and that is total surrender and wait on Jesus' healing. His timing is perfect and all these assaults will only strengthen you in His Love. This poem is so beautifully written. Ellie

I about got tears in my eyes with this one. Oh, how I can relate! The spirit is willing but the flesh isn't. That's when we need to pray that our spirit will rule the flesh and not the other way around. Without sorrow, and misfortunes we cannot appreciate the joy.

I think you've described what I couldn't quite put my finger on. God bless you

A very honest poem from your heart. Everyday we have to put Satan in his place. Here is a little prayer, I didn't write it don't know the author but it is very helpful to say every morning.

Good morning, Father
Good morning, Jesus
Good morning, Holy Spirit
Good morning, Angels

It's a bad morning for you Devil!
Because I'm up, and in the
Name of Jesus
You are under my feet!!

Stomp!! Stomp!! Amen!

Oh the struggles of the heart
If we allow-they'll pull us apart-
But if in Christ, our hope is staid,
We can have peace within us made!

You speak so graphically of the struggle we all must face as humans--but Believe that Jesus is Stronger than the Devil-Smarter, Kinder,and the true Prince of Peace for our Hearts & Lives.  Two passages I would point you to are I John 4:4/ and Romans 8:31-31.
They give me great comfort and strength, and I know they can do the same for you.  God bless you,    David

He might not come when you call Him, but He's always on time.  a real old gospel saying i believe.  i prayed this to God as i read it.  it is divine.  and even tho you are human, you still let go & let God.  that is what he asks.  you can do no more!!!!
