The Battle

"Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said," Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem@ Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful." 2 Chronicles 20:20

Lord, I'm losing ground.
The enemy hunts me. Haunts me.
I feel like I'm wielding a squirt gun against a
circle of slashing knives. How weary I am . . .
I FELT IT
The touch of your hand.
Hold mine tighter.
Help me feel your strength.
Fortify my weak armaments.
Lord, I'm gaining ground.
