Battle Weary?

Are you battle weary,
battered through trying to cope?
Have you wondered how much more
and listened to the Devil's roar,
swayed by his taunts and lies?
Has your faith faltered
and your hope grown dim?
Have you felt like giving up
or looked for illicit solace?
Do you feel forgotten,
and even angry with God?

Then draw near to Father
and yield to His love.
Know that He understands
and feels your anguish.
Receive His peace and
allow Him to refresh, sustain
and give you courage to go on.
He will sharpen your sword
and heal your pain.

Then listen:
You are precious to me
I am with you
Come and stand with Me
Stand tall and face the battle
Feel my arm around your shoulders
The protection of my cloak
Know that I have won
Share in my victory
Let Me take the strain.
Watch what I will do.
Trust Me.
