The Battle
Sharon Niese

Author's Bio: I live in Hamler, Ohio and have been married for almost 35 years. I accepted Christ late in life, and each day He blesses me with, I shall thank Him for His gift to me. God did a radical change in me: I, like the woman who washed Christ's feet, had many sins, which are now covered by His blood. To God be the glory....I have 2 children, a boy and a girl, both of whom are school teachers. I have 5 beautiful grandchildren, 3 girls and 2 boys. I am so blessed that I am able to watch them while my children teach.

This battle rages within me.
The flesh pulls with such a force!
Lord, I pray You to help me get through.
On my own, I will never make it.

You, my Lord, are my strength and power.
On my own I fall so short.
I now take hold of the Cross and hold tightly.
For it is here where the victory lies.

May I keep my eyes on you, Jesus.
For when I take them off, I do fail.
The flesh has a mighty pull on me
Yet, my love for You is stronger still.

Oh that I may rest in His peace,
Feel His presence surrounding me.
May He wrap me in His loving arms.
And grant unto me His rest.
Amen
