“When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown” Isaiah 43:2 (TLB).
Have you ever experienced something that truly tested your faith, your joy and your convictions? We’re not talking about just having a bad day or having to deal with difficult people – but enduring an intense situation that rocks you to your very core. When many people face such soul-searching they let their happiness and joy turn into bitterness and anger. Make sure this doesn’t happen to you. Don’t give the evil one the victory by becoming an ineffective Christian due to lingering bitterness. Even if you’re being tested, God has promised to remain faithful. He is all-powerful, and He can pull you out of your troubles at any moment
Everyone dies, but not everyone truly lives. Everyone dies, but the faithful
will live on to rule the Kingdom.

This anchor won’t let me reach the surface.
Pulling me further into the abyss.
Can you save a weakened soul?
Can you tell me?
Tell a wretch like me to finally see.
Can you tell me how lonely I have been?
And I want to believe,
Oh I just want to believe.
I don’t want to wait.
Tell me.
I’m my own worst enemy, the knife in my own back.
My mind is a tragedy, it’s killing me.
But I have never seen this so clear.
No I have never seen this so clear.
I am terrorized, cut off from your sight.
Is there anyone that can save me?
Cut off from your sight in this hostile world.
I’m cut off from your sight in this hostile world.
There’s a hole in my heart.
I have found a way to feel alive.
Will you help me to escape this abyss below?
I’m my own worst enemy, the knife in my own back.
My mind is a tragedy, it’s killing me.
But I have never seen this so clear.
The enemy stands in the mirror.
I know You are the only one.
I know You are the only one to save me from myself.

As humans, we strive for perfection
We long to be loved by all
We stare into the mirror until we hate our own reflection
We all climb simply to feel the pain when we fall
It turns into a vicious routine
When you have nothing to live for
You seek to be someone God doesn’t want you to be
Oh how we underestimate the plans You have in store
If I was made in God’s perfect image
Why do I feel this way?
Why can’t I see how much I’m privileged
Why can’t I keep my self hate at bay
I’m scared of Your plans
I’m scared of what You have to say
It means I’ll have to change
It means I’ll have to change my sinful ways
But that’s okay
The change is worth all the hurt
All of my old, sinful dreams are ripped away
All my old habits are buried in the dirt
But now I sit and watch my scars from the change
Slowly begin to fade
You are the perfect Creator?
How can you let this be?
I’ve learned the hurt is to save me from pain later
Who am I to question that which I cannot see
Hahahahahahababyyyy!
