Learning to rely on God during life’s most brutal battles
Have you ever fought a battle you weren’t prepared for, a battle that seemed to leave you defeated and withdrawn? I have had battles like that, and I wanted to wave the white flag in defeat, but then I remembered that I didn’t have to fight alone, for God would fight for me. This poem reminds me of when I had to trust God and remember I wasn’t alone, during some of my most brutal fights.
Sometimes, I feel like the world is closing in on me,
Everything around me seems to be collapsing left and right.
There appears to be no end in sight, but I don’t want to take flight for some reason.
I am tired of running and being afraid,
I must fight with a faith that I didn’t know I possessed.
This losing battle will not defeat me as I change my mindset and declare victory.
This problem has held me in a chokehold for so many years, but enough is enough; I can’t continue to suffer like this.
I am tired of surrendering to something I know I have dominion over.
I know it’s a stronghold, and I have decided its ties will no longer bind me as I fight this battle that will be won no matter the cost, for I don’t fight alone.
I am a child of the Most High, and He has given me the strength to defeat this battle.
As I put on my armor of God, I am ready to take back everything the enemy stole.
