As I stand here in the midst of myself fighting a battle with an enemy who seems undefeated, I see no one around but I still feel like i'm losing the fight. My Flesh and mind attacking my spirit and my spirit protecting my soul. The war continues with everybody watching but no one around me really seeing what's going on. It's like police brutality on my brothers of Merika in my daily walk. Pinned down, can't breathe, black hoodie on just trying to get home. My shadow is behind me blocking the light of my destiny. It sometimes feels like i'm being teased by a bully for trying to do the right thing. When I try to walk the right path, my body becomes nervous, my mind has doubt, I turn back around and find comfort in my shadows darkness. Man my mind is playing tricks on me. It feels like i'm trapped within myself. I'm shouting out, " Lord God I need you!" The Lord says, "I made a promise. I will never leave you nor forsake you. I live inside you. Once you get out the way and let my light shine through you, the darkness will disappear. You will walk into your greatness. I have plans for you and I will not allow you to mess them up." See the devil wants to keep you occupied fighting a battle of doubt of yourself. Distracting you from the greatness that you were pre destined to be. But the God that lives inside you protects your soul and once we realize that God is in you, stop fighting against ourselves and quit running from our purpose, the light that of God inside you will begin to shine on the outside showing that I am protected by God and nothing can penetrate this armor that I am wearing.
Dear God,
Thank You. Thank you for protecting me as I battle those things around me. As I strive to be closer to You, thank you for knowing I am flawed and I come up short. Thank you for reassuring me that you are God and what you said is so. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadows of death, I am not afraid as you are always with me. In Jesus Name, AMEN.......
