Souls In Conflict Poem by Cheryl Lavender

Souls in conflict, battles rage on,
Peace out of reach, crisis never gone.
How do I live this life for Him?
What must I do to flee this sin?

Jesus, where, O where are You?
My soul seeks to find the glue.
The bonds are ever straining,
Striving for Hope sustaining.

Your presence, I reach out to,
Knowing is all I can do.
Help my heart not to falter,
Lord, put my knees to the altar.

Jesus, my strength and my fortress,
When my weakness causes distress.
Jesus, my life and my comfort,
When my will has lost its' cynical retort.

When conflict has overtaken,
And all I've done seems mistaken,
Remember the Words' God has given.
They are the promises I live in.
