The Battle Within
by Deb Nelson (Deb's bio)
Satan wants to use it to make a mess.
Keep me focused, keep me clean
So that my life can be serene.
The dark places in my soul,
Need light to make me whole.
Satan works with the dark,
Plants an idea for a start.
The battlefield is in the mind,
The thoughts I have, are the kind
That my flesh like to entertain
But following through would be insane.
For the action would bring struggle
To my life, turmoil and trouble.
I know this is a test I can pass,
With my focus on You, it can't last.
Give me strength to see me through,
Transform my mind to be like You.
For that's the only way to win,
This battle that rages within.

Since getting saved 6 years ago, she has learned to be still and know that He is God. In that stillness, the Holy Spirit inspires poetry for her to write, she feels as though this is her ministry. Often times, these poems are like her journal, other times they are showing her gift of encouragement. Please let these words speak to you and bless you. E-mail Deb |
