God, I can’t carry this burden anymore. This weight’s more than one man should bear. I’m tired & I feel so alone. My mind says to move but my feet just won’t go. These hands are old, both knees won’t bend & now You tell me to build this boat! If I stand up & speak what you’ve called me to do, these people will laugh & scorn or condemn me to death. I watch them play & spin a web of wicked deeds, as they party all night like there’s no tomorrow. Yet I know the Truth, it’s so plain & simple, I’ve tried to tell them, but they just won’t listen. My heart is broken, how can they not see, that all is not lost if they’d only believe. They twist & squirm & feed such lies, while out of their mouths they quickly deny! What’s wrong is now right & the right is made wrong, but You know the thoughts of each mans secret life. I know I’m not innocent, I’m guilty of sin. I’ve fallen short, been easily tempered & judged more than a few. But I can’t face this corruption at hand & just turn a cheek & not take a stand! You’ve called each one to this moment in time, to be more than a bystander or a people who hide their heads in the sand. We are created in Your image to be distinctly unique, each child, woman or man. Help me, so I don’t lose heart, as I continue to stir others from this complacency & bring them an awareness of clarity. We shall walk through that door & sail on those waters, in faith & assurance that You are our Father. So I’ll take up my hammer, axe, blade or oar, I’m ready to start & finish this work. God, this is my plea: Grant me the strength to stay by Your side & no matter what happens, please don’t ever give up on me! I am Noah, son of Lamech, father of Shem, Ham & Japheth… Here I am.
“And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”Hebrews 11:6
I am Antoinette, daughter of Tony & JoAnn, mother of James, Jesse & Jason… Here I am.
