rescue

I woke up in despair this morning. All night long I felt the presence of evil discouraging me, filling my dreams with darkness.

This weight of darkness has been pressing in on me for weeks now. It is hard to stand under. It is hard to breathe. It is hard to move.

How do I believe the truth? How do I stay focused on who the Lord has declared me to be? How do I walk in my oneness with Him? How do I walk in my newness? How do I walk in the Spirit? How do I shine with the fruit of the Spirit? How do I overcome in Your victorious power? How do I push off my flesh and say no to its desires? How do I walk away from Satan's lies? How do I get this weight off my chest?

I turned to the Lord. I cried out. I told Him what is wrong.

Will you rescue me, Lord?

I know what is true ... will You make it true in me, Lord? Will you make all of this true in my heart? Break down my walls - make me wholly open to You. Work in me.
