Phoenix Ascendant

Battling my own demons as life eats me alive,
Each day, a struggle, a test of will,
Shadows loom large, whispers of doubt,
Yet, I press on, searching for light.

In the chaos, I seek a glimmer of hope,
A spark of faith to ignite my soul,
Strength in vulnerability, courage in tears,
Finding resilience in the depths of despair.

Life’s trials may weigh heavy on my heart,
But within me lies a spirit unbroken,
For every fall, there’s a rise,
A testament to the power within.

Through the storm, I’ll find my way,
Guided by an inner compass,
With every battle, I grow stronger,
Emerging from the ashes, reborn.

Phoenix ascendant, soaring high, 
From the embers, I touch the sky.

The Voice Within

The voice inside me tells me to get up,
To rise from shadows where I’ve been stuck.
In whispered tones, it calls my name,
A gentle push, a steady flame.

Through darkest nights and stormy seas,
It bids me stand, to find release.
In every trial, in every fight,
This voice within brings forth the light.

No chains can hold, no fear can tether,
With newfound strength, I rise forever.
The voice inside me tells me to get up,
In faith I rise, my spirit erupts.

Seeking Joy in Despair

In the depths of despair,
I cry out to you, Oh Lord.
I seek your face, I seek your ways,
But my heart is heavy, my soul is worn.

I strive to take delight in you,
To discover joy in your presence.
Yet, the desires of my heart,
Appear distant, beyond my grasp.

I wonder, Lord, why do I suffer?
Why do I feel so alone, so abandoned?
I try to trust in your plan,
My faith is weak, my hope is fading.

Yet, deep down, I know,
That you are still with me.
That you have a plan for me,
To prosper me, not to harm me.

So, I will continue to seek you,
To delight in you, despite my pain.
For I know that in your time,
You will give me the desires of my heart.

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Grace Amidst Trials

In the midst of the storm, when all seems lost,
And the path ahead is shrouded in frost,
There’s a light that shines, steady and true,
Guiding your steps, whispering, “I’m with you.”

When the world’s confusion clouds your mind,
And answers to your questions are hard to find,
Lift your eyes to the heavens above,
Trust in His plan, feel His unending love.

He sees the struggles you face each day,
He knows the burdens that won’t go away,
In His arms, find rest for your weary soul,
In His presence, find peace that will make you whole.

Though the season is tough, and the road is long,
In His strength, you can find the courage to be strong,
His grace is sufficient, His power made known,
In your weakness, His strength is shown.

So hold on to hope, let faith be your guide,
Rest in His promises, and your fears will subside,
For in the midst of confusion, His voice will ring clear,
“My child, trust in Me, I am always near.”

Incipient Ventures

In dawn’s tender light, dreams take flight,
Paths uncharted, ventures in sight.
Hope’s first whispers, softly entwined,
Steps of courage, leaving doubt behind.

Echoes of past fade into grace,
Future’s embrace, a new-found space.
Each breath a promise, each day a chance,
In the rhythm of life, a bold dance.

Eyes on horizons, hearts set free,
Boundless potential, endless possibility.
With every dawn, a story anew,
Incipient ventures, life to pursue.

Each day, a saga, a narrative untold,
In the chronicles of life, where destinies unfold.
With each sunrise, a chapter newly writ,
Incipient ventures, in the book of life’s script.

Journey of Healing

In the hush of night, a dream unfolds,
I’m driving a wheelbarrow, navigating life’s roads.
Picking up pieces of shattered glass,
Each shard is a memory, a pain from the past.

A church sister appears, offering a hand,
But I smile and decline, I must take a stand.
For though the glass may cut and sting,
I know deep down, I am healing.

With each piece I gather, I grow strong,
In the brokenness, I find where I belong.
The wheelbarrow fills, the weight bears down,
But I carry on, shedding my frown.

I am driving towards a brighter day,
Where the shards of yesterday will fade away.
In this dream, I find my resolve,
To keep moving forward, to evolve.

So to the church sister, I softly say,
“I am alright, I’ll find my way.”
And with each broken piece I leave behind,
I find strength in my heart, peace in my mind.

Footnote: This poem is inspired by a dream shared with me by a church sister, offering a poignant reminder of the strength found in facing life’s adversities.

Embracing Challenges and Pain: A Pathway to Courage and Strength

In our journey of faith, challenges and pain are not merely obstacles to overcome, but opportunities for growth and transformation. While it may be difficult to see the purpose behind our struggles, the Bible offers guidance and reassurance that these trials are meant to nurture courage and foster strength within us.

1. James 1:2-4 (KJV) – “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.”

In this passage, James encourages believers to find joy in trials, knowing that they produce endurance and maturity in our faith. Each challenge we face is an opportunity for God to mold us into the image of His Son, Jesus Christ.

2. Romans 5:3-5 (KJV) – “And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”

Paul reminds us that tribulations produce patience, experience, and ultimately, hope. Our challenges are a means by which God’s love is poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, strengthening our faith and resolve.

3. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (KJV) – “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.”

In this powerful passage, Paul shares his revelation that God’s grace is sufficient in times of weakness and challenges. When we embrace our weaknesses and rely on God’s strength, His power is made perfect in us, enabling us to endure and overcome.

As Christians, we are called to view challenges and pain through the lens of faith, recognizing that they are opportunities for God to work in us and through us. Let us, therefore, face our trials with courage, knowing that God is with us every step of the way, and that through them, He is shaping us into the courageous and strong individuals He has called us to be.
