I CAN'T TRY HARDER (OK, I GUESS I CAN) ((REVISED))

I CAN'T TRY ANY HARDER
THAN I ALREADY HAVE.
OKAY, MAYBE I CAN.
ALL MY PEACE
HAS SNEEKINGLY BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM ME.
THEY STOLE IT
STRAIGHT OUT OF MY HEART,
STRAIGHT OUT OF MY SOUL.
HOW CAN I EVER GET IT BACK AGAIN?
I FEEL AS IF I'VE TRIED IT ALL,
BUT I JUST FEEL WORSE.
SO I GRAB MY BIBLE
AND START LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT VERSE.
AND THERE IT IS, POPPING OUT AT ME,
LIKE A PROPHECY.
JESUS HAS HIS WAYS.
I'M NOT ONE HUNDRED PERCENT,
BUT MY SOUL CERTAINLY FEELS ON THE MEND
AND, AS ALWAYS, I MUST REMIND MYSELF
THAT JESUS IS IN CONTROL.






PSALM 4:3 -- KNOW THAT THE LORD HAS SET APART HIS FAITHFUL SERVANT FOR HIMSELF; THE LORD HEARS WHEN I CALL TO HIM.


2 CORINTHIANS 5:7 -- FOR WE LIVE BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT.
