Many of us go through our spiritual life feeling as if we are fighting a losing battle. We seem to go uphill slowly for awhile, and make progress, and then all of a sudden we hit rock bottom. What can cause this we ask ourselves? And how shall we rise above all of the pitfalls in life?

Well my friend, there is no easy answer to this question we all ask sometime in our lives, but there is a way to rise above the falls if we just know where to train our hearts, and minds to look.

God is waiting patiently for us always in the background, hoping that we will look to him through every aspect of our lives. Even when you may feel that your reason for looking to him is a small one, insignificant, or not important. I am here to tell you that all things are important to the one who created us in his image. Not one thing is insignificant to God no matter how minute we may believe it to be.

Just cast your cares upon the Lord, and let him take the reigns to your problems. I feel as though sending a prayer up to God is like letting go of a helium balloon. We must learn to let go of that prayer balloon, leave it there, and worry about it no more. Let God do his will in your life, and in your prayer requests, and you will never be left shipwrecked, and alone.

The Struggle

Trapped within our human nature
A struggle, wars unseen
Mounds of spiritual havoc lie
Beneath our viewing screen

Shadows of conflicting forces
Encircling our Soul
Warring, raging battles
A spiritual mixing bowl

Right answers never seem to surface
As we walk a narrow road
Demonic presence everywhere
Gods Angels keep on hold

Should I do this, should I do that?
As we blindly feel our way
Forever searching for contentment
Seeking the light of day

Though our struggles will be many
Our heartaches may be more
God has prepared a place for us
Walk through his open door

Remember we were created human
Our nature is of SIN
God has given us a choice to make
The secret lies within

Though there be trials & tribulation
Our future struggles will be none
When we pierce the gates of Heaven
Our battles will be won.
