How Much More Can I Bear?

Don't get stuck. Sometimes we get stuck in our own fog. Nyisha's  poem is a prayer for the removal of fear, worry, and  doubt.  We must never forget that those emotions will hold us back.  There is so much sky beyond the fog. Take off  and fly free.  Thank you Nyisha for sharing your words.

​How much more can I bear? 

In this life, many times 
I've known poverty, distress,

Lack and limitation,

But how much more can I bear? 

My tears salt my food, leaving trails of pain tattooed on my face.

Hope is lost in the shadows of my fear.

Faith is frozen beneath the icy stones of doubt. 

I want to give up.

How much more can I bear? 

I am not strong enough to do this alone.

How much more can I bear? 

Dear God, 
I need to feel your grace and mercy 
I am alone and fear has defeated me. 

I've been lost without light 
Enlighten me Father.

Deliver me... 
Hold my hand, hear my plea.

Take this pain away so that I may feel peace .

Father be my peace.

Be my Armor to fight this battle.

Bring out the warrior within me,
removing all fear, doubt, and worry from my heart. 

Restore my faith and hope.

Restore my soul and make me whole again.
Your child.
