A battle in my mind

Written because I feel like I have a lot of hesitancies in trusting in God.

Each day I wake up/I feel there is a battle in my mind/because the things the world says/don’t match up with the truth/what am I supposed to listen to/because the little whisper/sometimes gets drowned out by the noise/a battle in my mind because I want to believe/but this world is telling me lies/

A battle in my mind/a battle for my mind/a battle for my time/a battle for my attention/a battle is raging/the world can’t see who you are/a battle for my affection/a battle for my soul/a battle of against my flesh/a battle for my heart/it seems like it is never ending/but I know how it ends/

I want to please you/I sometimes forget that you’re watching/I want to make you known/but sometimes I let my pride overtake me/there are times when I know you are with me/but I easily forget that you’re my God/I don’t know why/it’s so hard to keep you first in my life/

The battle is already won/You have won the war against death/help me remember that your love will sustain me/your love is pure/your love is true/your heart for me and others/a love so deep/it cannot be fully understood/the grace you offered/the mercy too/can never be earned or awarded/it’s your gift to me/
