A battle inside of me that I wanted to share. I think a lot of us can identify with what I’ve written. It’s okay to argue with God, the one who loves us the most. I love that He pushes me to strive for more and to believe in myself. I’m thankful He’s always with me.
**************
Just show me what You want
Is it my truest of feeling upfront
I feel you shoving me into a corner
Suppose I fear judgement, ridicule and opposing statements
Who will protect me from my own aberration
I feel You don’t care
You push me to write where I’m not arranged
Yes, of course, I notice what You’re shepherding
You think I’m ready, I’m naysaying
The thoughts in my mind I can’t identify
Truly brought on by the Divine
I sense Your agenda
I agree, what I feel captivates and rings true
What You don’t tolerate is this girl’s admittance to being frightened, too
Lost in thoughts of what this journey will allow
God, please come with me
A Pandora’s box of emotions will be used
I know, You know, I’m bruised
Twas it yesterday when those actions caused ruin?
A battle which seemed fated changed me forever
Because of you, now I must heal the deepest of wounds!
In order to show that Your faith in us rings true
How dare You strengthen me in Your own time!
I understand You think I’m primed
I’m forced to play catch up
Your Holy presence proves Divine
To question You, not my intention
I feel weakened by Your intervention
Through this I know it is for the best
A life’s quest

Great poem…… and your right; arguing with god is only natural. I often wonder about the people who never do it

Thanks, Mr. J 😉
I wonder, too. Do you think they find it hard to believe He’s okay with it? Or is it more of a He’s God and we can’t push back? Anyway, thanks for letting me know I’m in good company. 🙂

Response
My child, my favourite daughter
Look around, do you feel already better
Don’t understand, no matter
The world is full, humanity thrives
On all wrong things
Consumption and war,
Destruction so far
No care for each other
No care for divine
Poor ones dying of hunger
Rich ones wine and dine
You are all in this together
Test of resolve
Individuality is ok
But is it me who is at fault
I gave you free will
I promised you heaven
Resurrection will come
All will enter Eden
Wanted you to keep
Your side of bargain
Care for each other
Thou shall not sin
The misery I see,
Mad rush to win
At any costs, killing fellow beings
I wish I could ignore these horrible things
You are lucky from the chosen few
Who read and write, create ideas new
Majority of your fellow beings live below par
What have you done to improve thus far
Keep you confidence, have your resolve
Can I depend on you to get this solved
Please don’t complain, you are fine
I don’t believe you are from those,
who constantly whine.
Best regards God 🙂

Child, I understand your frustrations
Do you understand I’m pushing you for greatness
Alone I will not leave you
Right beside I frequent
Mustn’t leave out what you do right
I’ve chosen you to walk a path of counsel
Don’t you see those that seek help from your experiences
Many people see my light within you
Share with them who I am
I live inside you and I won’t let you stray
Believe me when I say the others will need more and more each day
Reach those who seek me and continue your life’s journey
Remember not to discount your frustrations
Yours may seem unimportant and weak
But I see the world’s pain
You’re all my children
I gaurd you all the same
I love you, sister
