Strength from Him

When a heart has been broken

The mind tends to take control

When a heart has been broken

All feeling ceases

And logic increases

Yet if your mind is full of unstable thoughts

 Unstable actions are what will be produced

Fill your mind with what is true

What is noble

What is right

What is pure

What is lovely

What is admirable

What is excellent

What is praiseworthy

For these things

will produce actions that follow suit

It is never about how much you can withstand

As much as it is about how much God can withstand

For we are weak to the core

Your legs give out

Your mind grows tired

And power disappears from your hands

Yet in the heart filled with truth

There is a strength that manages to shine through

There is a joy that blankets all pain

And comforts the hurting soul

Through Christ all things are possible

Through Christ strength is given to those who ask

Fill your mind

Prepare for times when life seems to fall apart

For when you do the truth will transcend 

Giving up

Self inflicted

Self induced

My mind is a rain storm on the open sea

My heart eternally breaking

This is not up to me

The emotions come like waves

I am endlessly searching for the calm in my storm

Why do I let you have this power over me?

Your heart is empty

Your hands are full of rage

When you see me

You see a puppet that you can easily play

I want to finish breaking

So I can heal in the correct way

I am tired of feeling

I am tired of hurting

I am tired of all this pain

How do I tell me heart to stop?

How do I get my mind to win?

This is a battle I have no control in

God, please take my heart and make it whole

God, please take my life and make it yours

This war inside of me is taking its toll

I am not sure how much longer this can go on

I am tired of taking this in my own hands

I am tired of trying to fix things with my power

This is me

Giving up

Please lead me in the direction that I am supposed to be

Please help me see the path you have for me
