So today my day started off really crappy.  There wasn’t any particular reason just a bunch of little things like my hair wouldn’t do right or I was five minutes late to class.  Just stupid little things just put me into a funk.  So anyways, I skipped chapel just to be alone with God and to just be alone.  I went to the prayer gardens and wrote poetry.  This is one of them:

A storm is brooding in my heart
I can feel the storms rushing in
Their goal: to drown me
Their aim: to steal my dreams
The clouds are rolling in, the sky is filling
Nothing can save me
I only pray that God would keep me
I am losing my hope and my joy
It seems they are my only life lines
Then I remember I have one more-faith
But how helpful will that be here
Will it save me, Will it keep me
Only if I don’t doubt
Only if I don’t doubt
The skies open up The rain begins to fall
Am I safe and warm or
Am I lonely and cold
Only my heart can know

Then I just so happened to catch the last part of chapel as I was sitting in one of our little restraunts on campus.  Pres. Roberts was talking about shaking off the evil poisionous beings that come to break you down.  I knew exactly what he was talking about because that was half of what I’d been fighting.  I actually started to hear him right around the, “NO ENEMY, YOU CAN’T HAVE MY FINANCES!  NO ENEMY, YOU CAN’T HAVE MY THOUGHTS!  NO!”  It was like he was saying no for me.  I knew that I had heard just enough for God to speak to me. 
     So if you are fighting something, anything.  Remember that you do have authority over the things in your life.  Also remember that Jesus said, “I do not pray that you do not have trials, I only pray that your faith won’t fail.”  He won’t stop the rain from falling but He will keep you anchored (if you let Him), so that you don’t get swept away.
