My Battle Within

poem by: Mike Price
Written on Oct 03, 2013

My life has been lived in darkness, mastered and taught as a child.

My sin has broken me, left me without hope. I have lost all that means anything with this I'm broke. 

I stretch out my arms to God, he grabs me tight. He fills me with his word, he gives me strength and says-- through me it will be alright.  

I pray fix me, he says study my word. I see his greatness as I pray for his will. 
My heart wonders will this be enough.

I'm just a puppet, hanging on by a string.  When the devil wishes to move me he knows through weakness where my heart will lean. 

The devil grabs me with a finger, he smiles and knows. His will is all I know inside nothing will change nothing will truly grow.  

Nothing is possible through him or me this I know.  My arms reach out as  I fall to my knees. I pray to God give me what I need. 

 Unless I truly give my heart to God by a string will I be in tow.  The devil lays back and waits as he watches me grow. He waits for when the time is right, then he grabs me by the throat. All that has been built will come tumbling down. Unless I give my heart to Jesus there's no hope any where around.

Please my beautiful God help me now.  I pray to you Lord Jesus grab me now.  Protect the things that are good that You and I care about.  Don't let the devil tempt me, give me your strength in you I will live my life and be devout. Never leave me understand I'm weak but my true heart is yours and yours to keep. 

Through your word and will please keep my family safe.  Grab me one last time, fill my heart with your understanding and grace.  

Keep evil away from me, lead my life.  I give you my soul but protect me now the devil is coming but through you I can win.  

I believe in you, I have faith. I know that you died for my sin and this I can never repay.  Please take me over now so the devil can't win. I give you my life to lead and control without you the peace I strive for I will never know within.

Amen..
