I wake with a hunger to labor and strive,
To run for the prize and feel truly alive.
I vowed not to stumble, I swore not to yield,
Determined to conquer my own battlefield.
But the weight of the world left me broken and spent,
My body is weary, my spirit is bent.
I struggle to walk, yet I falter and sway,
Knowing I’ll fall by the end of the day.
In my weakness, I looked for a hand from above,
A spirit grown dull, seeking comfort and love.
I wept in the dust of each failure and fear,
Believing my goal would never draw near.
Then a Voice broke the silence, steady and true:
"I am beside you; I am carrying you.
I will lift you up high in the palm of My hand,
And lead you to rest in the promised land."
"Simply surrender," He whispered so sweet,
"And I will provide all the strength for your feet."
I cried out in joy as He wiped every tear,
Banishing darkness and casting out fear.
For He knows my limits, my heart, and my frame,
He knows every trial and calls me by name.
With the Spirit to lead and His grace as my light,
Jesus is guiding me home through the night.
