What do you do when the enemy is on your heels
Waiting for you to change how you feel?
As long as you're far from the Lord the enemy is okay
Watching you go through your monotonous day.
You haven't considered God and you haven't considered the Word.
But when you do he's ready to create some discord.
He wants to test and see how far you're willing to go
To get to the light at the end of the road.
He doesn't want you to follow Christ
Because he knows what you can do when you push towards the right.
With Christ you can do all things, you just have to believe that fact.
And don't just read the scripture, but act!
And see how the enemy tries to inflict pain.
But recognize that most of his tricks are the same.
He uses what's in you to bring you to your knees.
Don't give in because God has exactly what you need.
In Him you can conquer any battle within self.
He is your strength and your help.

Daily struggle
Thank You Lord for Your guidance.
You always steer me in the way I should go.
You tell me when I'm out of order.
Even when I don't want to believe that is so.
I end up realizing through Your word,
The way in which You expect me to act.
I sometimes forget that I am Your child,
And I end up reverting back.
But You want me to chase after You and Your righteous ways.
And so I strive every day.
I don't always get to that destination, Lord.
But I ask You to help me to face this battle against sin and endure.
Each day is a struggle, and I feel it in my very being.
I trust that You will purge me Lord
Of this wicked and ungodly scene.
I know my ways are evil in Your sight
Because I feel my innermost parts cringe.
I know these are not ways in which You delight
And on the edges of hell is where I infringe.
Lord send me Your spirit to hold me in place
When I just want to go off the deep end.
Lord send me Your Comforter
When I feel like I don't have any friends.
My life is in Your hands
But my actions are in my own.
You know me better than anyone else Lord
And You know I'm not spiritually grown.
So I need Your guidance every day
Because I struggle with my flesh.
Help me to be obedient to Your will
Because I know in the end, this is what You will bless.
You always steer me in the way I should go.
You tell me when I'm out of order.
Even when I don't want to believe that is so.
I end up realizing through Your word,
The way in which You expect me to act.
I sometimes forget that I am Your child,
And I end up reverting back.
But You want me to chase after You and Your righteous ways.
And so I strive every day.
I don't always get to that destination, Lord.
But I ask You to help me to face this battle against sin and endure.
Each day is a struggle, and I feel it in my very being.
I trust that You will purge me Lord
Of this wicked and ungodly scene.
I know my ways are evil in Your sight

Lord send me Your spirit to hold me in place
