from a place of weakness

The last couple of weeks have been a struggle with the Black Dog of depression. As I struggle to cope with some hurts. It has been a battle. The following are some thoughts/prayers from this time

From a place of weakness

I am weak and feeling faint

Failed again to stand against

The onslaught of the enemy 

Child be still I am with you

I will never fail or forsake you

I The Lord, your shepherd

Have the victory in hand 

Lord I feel I am failing you

With each new struggle

As sin binds my feet and hands

And throws me headlong in the pit 

I will rescue you my child

Sin cannot, will not, defeat you

I am by your side my child

I will not, have not, I will not leave you! 

Lord I submit again to you

Have your victory in my life

I surrender once again

Please lead and help

Direct my life.

Have your victory

Have your victory in my life

Help me surrender it to you,

Please free me from the sin which binds

Please guide me, help me, oh my Lord

Because I’m weak and I have fallen

And I cannot see the way

My own sin clouds out my vision

But you Lord, you can show the way,

I really really need your help here

I need to see your loving face

To hear your words, know your direction

Lord rescue me for your name’s sake
