Women
Teach me Lord to see the battle
I am often caught up in the daily-ness of living,
Forgetting that my heart is a battlefield
I give the enemy ground
This enemy is treacherous, I have learned
He is content to offer me any role I like
As long as it is just a part to play
He knows my weakness and my pride
He waves the flag of motherhood and once again
I am running to pursue the ‘good mom’
How would she live, what would she do?
And I am caught up in the part
He flashes womanhood through my TV screen
I am washed anew with images of what I should be:
Independence, power and sexuality – call out to me
Inviting me to a life lived for pleasure and escape.
He has even found room in the sanctuary on Sunday morning
To point out the ‘good Christians’ that sit in the pews around me
They are the ones, who seem to have it all together,
And again, I feel the pull to perform.
Remind me Lord, that You have called me
-Just me,
To know You
You want me to be – ME
You want me to be – Authentic
No need to pretend or perform for You
You want my life to be just what it is-
And You promise to be Amazing in it!
