At The Periphery Of Life Poem by Qiniso Mogale

At the periphery of my own life,
It's like watching a movie of my own life,
I watch helplessly as events unfold,
I watch helplessly with my arms folded,
I watch at heartbreaking situations,
I watch at disheartening circumstances,
The situations are beyond my control,
The circumstances are beyond my control,
The circumstances are dictating terms,
The situations are dictating terms,
I can only cry out for help,
I can only call out for help.

At the periphery of my own life,
Realizing that I require divine intervention,
Realizing I require supernatural intervention,
Realizing that no human being can help,
I call upon a Name that is above all names,
I call upon the King of Kings,
I call upon the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ.

No longer at the periphery of life,
It is Christ who now lives in me,
I dictate terms to the circumstances,
I dictate terms to the situations,
I command the mountains of obstacles to be uprooted and be thrown into the sea,
I can now do anything through Christ who strengthens me,
All circumstances and situations are under my feet.
