Focus

Lord, give me the strength to do Your will

and silence my mind to make it still,

for my thoughts have set my feelings alight

and they force me to focus on things that aren’t right.

My conflict and turmoil have left me in despair

and I get to the point where I think You’re unfair,

but then I check my thoughts against what I know

and find my feelings are lying, for You are not so.

Father, I choose to believe in all that You’ve said,

despite the rhetoric raging inside my head;

I’ll stay focused upon You who knows best

and train my mind to forget the lies of the rest.
