Another troubled day is through,
I’ve struggled to find peace with you.
With little strength I kneel to pray,
And fumble with the words to say.

Lord, I know your love is true,
But I cannot ask much more of you.
Time and again, I failed to stay,
Upon the holy paths you paved.

Unworthy, I am plagued with sin,
Tormenter’s of my soul within.
A war between what’s right and wrong,
My mind is weak, temptations strong.

I do not understand my life,
Joy starts my day, it ends in strife.
You’ve given so much from above,
Yet I still fail you and your love.

So Lord I make my last request,
I do not ask for tenderness,
But humble me until I see,
The life I live is misery.

Maybe then, in deep despair,
I’ll lift my voice into the air,
Let go of pride and earthly gains,
And praise the living one who reigns.

THE BIBLE SAYS; WE CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS US! I know this road is difficult at times, but the good news is, JESUS DID IT! He says we can too!
God bless you always,

Thank you for sharing your heart in this beauty.  I know it goes for me, too, as we all forget to follow or put our trust in the Lord throught each day. Like the apostle Paul, one does the things we wish not to do.

God bless you and Merry Christmas!
