STAY STRONG

Today I don’t feel entirely unbeatable,

In fact, lately I’ve been tossed harshly to the ground;

I seem to have lost my unbridled enthusiasm,

Because the depravity of the world keeps beating me down.

 

Lord, I know tomorrow is filled with Your Hope,

The anticipated Rapture is soon to arrive;

But that future seems so far away,

While today I’m struggling just to survive.

 

Christians are required to put on a happy face,

And fight through the hurt we feel inside,

We are supposed to remain unflinchingly positive,

Despite the harassments that never subside.

 

The enemy is relentless and lacking in mercy,

And constantly on the attack;

Every day seems to bring newer assaults,

Please, Lord, WHEN ARE YOU COMING BACK?

 

I desire to be one of Your shining stars,

And to allow Thy Will to be done in my life,

I so aspire to help those around me,

But it sure is difficult fighting through all this strife!

 

Lord, it really is arduous going through this fire,

While family and friends ridicule and scoff,

How much longer must I endure these flames of distress,

Before hearing the Shofar initiate our take-off?

 

I pray that tomorrow I will feel somewhat better,

But today this world has floored me with its malevolent breeze,

In retrospect, however, that may be a blessing in disguise,

For I am always in better standing with You, Lord, when I am on my knees.

 

I will persevere as usual -- although currently I am fatigued,

And I’ll defer to Your strength to replenish my soul,

But right now I’ll admit in totally honesty,

This day has flattened me and taken its toll!

 

Please hurry Lord and don't tarry any more,

We are suffering to such a degree,

Our finances are short and our marriages strained,

And we are yearning to be Eternally free!

 

Come Lord Jesus!

Beautiful prayer which should be revisited every day!  Truly we move closer on a daily basis. But just but, if we did know the exact hour of our departure how would we feel!?  Firstly to be that certain, then the agony of watching for each second to go by!  TR

H - I can relate, today! The world is reveling in all its evil schemes, I’m tired and battle worn, soon, the fight will be over! I not only know this, but fill it in my a spirit, yet so fatigued —- come Lord Jesus! :prayer-hands:

Thank you TR -- and I only wish that we could know the exact hour.  That would be helpful.  Smile
Tammie:  I'm sorry that you can relate, but unfortunately, you are in the same sinking ship that the rest of God's children are.  We are tired of trying to patch the holes and tread water while we await our Heavenly Lifeline.

God Bless!

Humbly
