    Until I’m carried away  And no longer care what people say  Lord please help me to stay  In your presence always When my world sways In the midst of troubles & delay When I find it difficult to pray  In your presence I’ll forever lay Worshipping You in my conscious  Till my subconscious calls you…

    My own strength is fragile  My power is inconsistent  My will is not to be trusted. My feelings try to deceive me, every-time. One day I’m on fire, Another day I don’t even feel a smoke. My soul is weary, But my spirit is constantly with You Help me to know & live this.  When…

    My Spirit is longing  My soul seems downcast My eyes searching for distractions  And my body is tired. I sense I need Rest  But I don’t seem to get them in my sleep  And when I wake up There seems to be always something to do. Mentally fatigued  My routines seems to have given up…

    This was a tough lesson to learn  I love a good challenge by nature  My ego takes pride in everything I’ve earned  Fantasizing on words I’ll use in the future! I struck Gold when I found You But I found that you’re worth more than Gold. I tried to explain my decision to follow you,…

    Isolation caught me once again  I’m too vulnerable alone  I’m fragile & weak on my own  Every-time I’m alone I fall So many people around me  Yet I feel so lonely  Too many burdens  I feel no one would understand  I don’t want to be judged  I don’t want you to loose hope So I…

    I’m very thankful for growth  I started out testing the waters with my feet I remember when I couldn’t pray for 5 mins  Without waking up in the next 2 hours. I remember second guessing my salvation  With the fear of What people will think? The hesitation I felt to post my Spotify wrapped  When…

    I find myself falling again  Failing the exact way. Even when I see it coming  It overpowers me yet again. The pattern is consistent  Suggesting I’ve run out of God’s graces. Remorseful, so I take the blame  Then your blood reminds me  You washed my sins away.  How long until I learn? How many cycles…

    Hey! Happy New Year guys!✨ I’m back here again. I remember starting last year with fear  And I learnt courage is doing it afraid. For the longest time I didn’t know myself  I’d reflect, only to end up living everybody’s version of me.  I’ve journeyed from being indifferent to lost,  Then from no longer lost,…

    It’s a war zone in my mind  And the prize is my Sight! A fight to ensure that I’m blind  A victory to make me see the Light. Sometimes my mind is a mess When I reflect I tend to see things clearly It’s a battle and a test  And I didn’t know about this…

    2 years in  Somehow it still feels like yesterday. I don’t have it all figured out  But I’m not where I was yesterday  2 years in and I’m learning Growth is not by the number of years  But the consistency of my obedience. 2 years in, and sometimes I still feel stuck  I find myself…
