My Struggle



It’s early morning, didn’t sleep well last night, my mind occupied with this world and yours.
I struggle just praying, I wrestle and fight, and now more than ever I need you O Precious Lord.

After the beating I have taken this day, my flesh is weak; I am hearing in my head could you not tarry?
Empty words are what I seem to pray, trying all I can to seek, I am hearing in my head could you not tarry?

Then I hear you say, linger in expectation, and wait for me. I am the God of creation; I will come to rescue thee. Stay in place, and stand firm in readiness to receive, I will not be late, but have faith and believe. To bring you strength and help you stand, and when the battle is over, it will be Me holding your hand

It’s a daily fight, for I know I don’t struggle against flesh and blood, but your rod and your staff, they comfort me my heavenly Father.
I will sleep peacefully tonight, through the storms and floods; I am safe knowing you are with me, my protector, and my watchtower.

I hear you say, linger in expectation, and wait for me. I am the God of creation; I will come to rescue thee. Stay in place, and stand firm in readiness to receive, I will not be late, but have faith and believe. To bring you strength and help you stand, and when the battle is over, it will be Me holding your hand.

Ephesians 6: 10 -18
The Armor of God 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
