Give me Joy

@wabisabi.

I want so much but I’m limited by my inhibitions, fear and finances. Perfect love casts out all fear. How do I calm my desires? How do I separate my needs from my wants? How do I quiet the voice of the enemy? No. I don’t want to quiet the voice, I want to stop the voice of the enemy. His voice is a proponent of dissatisfaction

Perfect Love casts out all fear. God is perfect. His Love is perfect. With God’s love comes peace. I must let go of the small insignificant troubles of life and hang on to perfect love. I will have peace and not fear.

Again, this morning anxiousness creeps in.

But I don’t look for a secret hidden sin,

to explain the onset of my trepidation.

I know without any hesitation,

My god is greater than the enemy of the world.

I’ve read it many times from Gods own word

I stop a moment and take a deep breath

to breathe out the uneasiness that’s crept

into my spirit during the night

when I was tucked in my bed tight.

I’ve not discovered the hidden secret

to block the enemy from his nightly creep

in order to plant the seeds of restlessness

to spread a crippling darkness.

I’d like to wake one early morning

without the need to take a moment

to summon and focus all my energies

to seek the perfect remedy

for waking with this anxiousness within.

I want to wake with joy again.

You Have No Power!

The blueness of today

has gotten in the way

of living out my life

free from all the strife.

I didn’t know where to go

or who could help me know

how to ignore the despair

and forcefully and loudly declare

flee from me right now

you enemy, you have no power!

You cannot hope to compete,

my Fathers love is complete.

You no longer have a voice

to suggest or promote my choice.

I’m free from my defeatist stronghold!

Now, that you’ve been told,

I’ll turn and walk away

into a brighter day.
