Endure

The back-to-back attacks,

The attacks on my mind, my finances, and my family are taking me for a spin,

It is a cycle of never-ending opposition that makes me want to give up, but I have to hold onto all my strength and not give in.

Some days are filled with sunshine and rainbows, while others seem like I am drowning in the raging sea of chaos.

Oh, why didn’t I expect this?

Why did I think this journey would be easy?

Many times, I wanted to surrender, and that’s what the enemy wanted me to do, but somewhere deep inside, I knew I couldn’t.

Despite the relentless attacks as I traveled further, I did not want to give up.

Hits after hit was all I was taking.

The enemy seemed like he was winning, but I knew defeat wasn’t an option for me.

As the tears flowed from my eyes and the path seemed unclear, I kept pushing on despite my fear.

It was something on the inside of me that was helping me switch gears.

My thought process was changing, and the picture was becoming crystal clear.

As I refused to surrender to the attacks of the enemy

This warfare wasn’t going to take me down.

I must strap on the armor of God as I continue along this path, as this battle isn’t over; I know I must endure until my Savior Jesus returns to commend me on a job well done.
