Sitting, waiting because You said to be still
Any idea how hard it can be to do Your will?
When fleshly desires are screaming in my head
Fighting off anger, again seeing red
Bouncing off the walls trying to get my way
Lord give me the strength to let You have Your way
That old man continually knocks at my door
Trying to get me to question what all my sacrifices are for
That old man doesn’t know You like I do
That old man doesn’t know the sacrifice You went through
You hung on that cross to pay that old man’s debt
Blood poured out; covered sin, shame, and regret
I guess if You could be still on that cross for me
I could be still and wait for life more abundantly

Amy this was another one of your great gifted poems! I love how it ended. If He could do that for me, the least I can do is be still and wait on Him! 🙌🏼 I love the image you used as well! 💜🤗

Powerful words; powerful image. You really dug deep, and it speaks deeply.
He really did nail all our sins on the cross (1 Peter 2.24), and it’s up to us not to go grab them back, or think that it’s not personal. We can be still and wait on Him, trust Him.
