craving peace

Lord, sometimes the journey is tough
I know in my heart You're faithful
I look around and can see and feel You're always there
...but sometimes i wander.

Although I try and not step off the path
I allow my focus to be distracted and opposed to focusing on you
O Father, please protect me...

Stand in front between me and the enemy
for he tries mightily to catch my attention
he stirs my anger and fills my head with confusion
he tempts me away from compassion and forgiveness
and pushes me to stand on my own.
he fills my day with busyness and selfishness and at times
arrogance as opposed to righteousness.

Lord, I crave the peace that only You can deliver
and I long for the time that peace will rule.
Give me the strength to combat this enemy. Help me
protect the hearts which You have entrusted me with. Give
me vision to clearly see his motives.
Fill my spirit with truth and love.

You are my King, my Warrior and Commander.
Entrust me in this battle.
