You let the devil take your joy

You let him rip into your soul with his illusions

You let him take your heart and control it like a puppet

You tried to retreat into your own kingdom thinking the devil spared it

Why do you try to hide when your King is fighting for you

Why did you hand your life to the devil when you were so close

Your King doesn't stand on the sidelines and watch while you fight a pointless battle

We're not cattle

So pick up your sword and rally

Rally to the King who already won!

Stand beside your God and King who stands beside you

Hormonal creatures that are lead by emotions is what we're called

Teens just looking for that next fix of dopamine

The truth is when we follow our emotions

They send us scattering in motion

If you don't lead your emotions

Then your emotions will lead you

We were given minds of logic and reason

Don't accept what you're told go out and find answers for yourself

Find the truth to fuel your mind

Don't try to fill your life with feel good fantasies

Don't just follow

Lead

But remember that the greatest leaders

Are also followers

Looking into the night

All I see is your glorious light

Stars dancing like kites

Their colors shining, flickering, flying

Like kingdoms

They rise and fall

I'm sad and pathetic

It's because I lost sight of Christ

Don't do the same

You've gotta fight

Completely alone

Total darkness

Complete separation from everything good and beautiful

Emptiness

Lifeless

Screams

Burning for eternity yet never burning away

Yet people choose an eternity of this for an eternity with a loving God

I'm spent

It's hard when the devils demons have overcome me with confusion

I'm dizzy and the worlds spinning around me

I need your voice to guide me

I need your voice to energize me

Erase these thoughts

Shield my eyes

Energize my fighting spirit

Energize those who read this poem

Dear Father

Please energize us

I sometimes stare down at people with judgement

Then I'm brought so low I remember

I'm no better then those I look down on

I'm a filthy mess that other people depend on

  Those people don't see the cracks in my muscles as they begin to wane

Underneath this strain

Dear God I'm beaten and battered

Broken and shattered

Others depend on me

But I depend on you

I can't do this alone

It's all on you

These broken spirits that surround me are waiting to be revived

You took this mess of a life and used it for your glory

That is enough for me

I just ask you would take these hands from me

Because if allow me to use them for a split second

They will destroy this ministry

Not because of your lack of strength but mine

Father take this broken soul

And make it whole
