Exactly how I feel now...

Warrior Is A Child
Gary Valenciano

Lately I’ve been winning battles left and right
But even winners can get wounded in the fight
People say that I’m amazing
I’m strong beyond my years
But they don’t see inside of me
I'm hiding all the tears

[CHORUS]
They don’t know
That I come running home when I fall down
They don’t know
Who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
Cuz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child

Unafraid because his armor is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest
People say that I’m amazing
I never face retreat
But they don’t see the enemies
That lay me at his feet

[CHORUS]
They don’t know
That I come running home when I fall down
They don’t know
Who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
Cuz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child

They don’t know
That I come running home when I fall down
They don’t know
Who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and look up for a smile
Cuz deep inside this armor (deep inside)
Deep inside this armor
Deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child

~~~
I know there are people who look up to me for strength... and I have always prayed to God that He would make me a blessing to others... but at times, I can't help but need refuge myself. Thank God I know He cares.


Dear Lord,
I pray that you give me the peace that passes all understanding... that I remember to cast all burdens upon You...cause You are my God. A lot of times I feel weak, I pray that you comfort me and help me trust in You with all my heart. Thank You Lord. In Jesus' name. Amen.

The Blessed

Psalm 1 NASB

1How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

2But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.

3He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.

4The wicked are not so,
But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.

5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.

Dear Lord,
I pray that everyday I walk in victory in Your name. I know that Your word can sweep away all anxieties, comfort me as I face the shadow of fear. In times of failure let me remember Your word…that my strength comes in You (Phil 4:13). You are my Provider and my Healer, my strong Refuge. Be with me always. Thank You Lord. In Jesus’ precious name. Amen.
