Anxiety Knocks

There was a time you use to be a regular part of me

Wherever I’d go, it’s you I’d see

I never felt safe with you around

You turned my whole world upside down

 

I’d pray everyday and ask God to send

You away from me, you’re not my friend

Still there you were, always taunting me

I still held on to the hope

You would eventually leave me

 

He wouldn’t let you completely take over my mind

You are a demon, Satan’s most lethal weapon

I was never who God made me to be

You were the reason

 

Now here you are almost a faded memory

But you keep knocking at my door

Still trying to taunt me

 

Leave me alone

Get away from me

I can’t let you in

From you I must flee

 

You lie to me

You take my joy

You steal my righteous mind

Now I am taking a stand

I won’t let you in this time

 

You won’t have a place in my life again

You are not welcome here

I’m letting go of my fear

 

I am releasing the Lioness within

Rooooaaaaaaarrrrr!

 

His Words:

⁷ …… Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. ⁸ Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. ⁹ But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. ¹⁰ That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

2 Corinthians 12:7-9 NIV
