WHO AM I (UPDATED WITH SCRIPTURE)

SOME DAYS I FIND IT SO HARD TO FIGHT OFF THIS DEPRESSION,

SADNESS AND OPPRESSION.

WHERE ARE THE BLESSINGS GOD PROMISED ME?

WHY CAN'T I FIGHT OFF THIS ANXIETY?

AM I A BAD CHRISTIAN BECAUSE MY BELIEF WAINS?

WHEN LIFE BRINGS TROUBLES, AM I TO BLAME?

WHY CAN'T I ACCEPT THIS THORN IN MY SIDE,

KNOWING THERE'S A REASON WHY THIS HORRIBLE PAIN WILL PROBABLY NEVER SUBSIDE?

WHO AM I TO COMPLAIN WHEN I HAVE A ROOF OVER MY HEAD,

FOOD IN MY CUPBOARD AND A WARM, SOFT BED?

AND I KNOW THIS LIFE IS TEMPORARY, JUST A BLINK OF AN EYE.

SO I CRY OUT IN A TEARFUL SHOUT,

  "WHO AM I, LORD, TO COMPLAIN,

WHO AM I?"

LUKE 14:27

AND WHOEVER DOES NOT CARRY THEIR CROSS AND FOLLOW ME CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE.
