winning the battle.

my night suddenly cleared up with all my meetings cancelled.
i got home and just needed to run.
everything that has built up inside gets let out on that 3 mile loop.
it's my time to think.
simply what i needed.
i've been thinking about things a lot lately.
and i wish i knew what to compare it to.
here's my best explanation.
first of all there's me, trying to figure out the best way to go.
and from every side i get confusion, doubt, fear.
a constant battle with the adversary, who wants me to fail.
and sometimes i'm letting him win.
i let him tell me i'm not worth much,
or that there is no hope in the future,
or i might as well give up now.
but i take the small step to kneel down and pray,
or open up the scriptures.
and suddenly, all that darkness disappears.
i see that there is hope and i feel the love of my Savior.
and He lets me know, "you can make it."
each of us can.
because we are children of God.
remember that.
