Image Title: Spiritual Warfare
Artist: Laurie Cooper

Battleground
by S. Viddaurri

I'm standing in the fog of a war
smoke and haze surround me
bewildered, confused, in pain
I cry to my Lord
Please help me!
whizzing bullets graze by
as I panic and rush here
and there
I feel cold fingers grasping and
scratching but when I turn
laughter is only lingering
the wispy tendrils of fear penetrating to
my soul
Father, please! I'm scared!
why does he want me so?
why does he fight so hard?
am I worth that much to you, my God?
I'm breaking, torn in two, from this
spiritual warfare
will I survive
will I survive
will I survive
I felt the darkness today
coiled like a snake ready to strike
squeezing the breath of Faith from
my very lungs
I could not cry to you, oh Lord, I felt
so abandoned
so alone
so alone
so alone
on that battleground
in the fog of a war
Lift me up, dear God!
I plead to you, my Salvation
Jesus, I need you
help me, please
help me
help me
save me, my Father
forgive me my sins
take over my life
fill my heart with your Love
make me your Child
guide me in the way of Light
I pray
pray
pray
on this battleground
in the fog of a war
I rebuke evil
maim me, scare me, weaken me
but never defeat me
my armor is of God
and I will know His Peace
forever
forever
forever
Amen.

A note from the author Who wouldn't want to be connected to their Lord and all that He promises us? I have come to the end of my spiritual journey in which I was seeking the source, now I need do nothing but quench my thirst. I reached the end by realizing I didn't need to search for more than what God is or offers to us as His children. I just accepted His Love into my heart and I feel so much power from that. I hope that when you sense difference, it's a good thing because to me it's the best thing!!
