Drifting Away

(Written By Candice Landis  01/12/2016)


I Felt Myself Drifting Away

The Pull Of Gods Love Seeming To Fade 

Don't Get Me Wrong I Still Had Faith

I Could Just Feel Myself Drifting Away



I Realized It Most When I Heard Myself Speak

Then I Started Noticing Thoughts I Would Think

Negativity Was Building Like Dirty Dishes In A Kitchen Sink

I Could Feel Myself Teetering On The Brink


I Noticed Memories Once Again Haunting Me From The Past

The Devil Was Back And He Was Having A Blast

Trying To Make Me Feel Guilty And  Ashamed

Trying To Get Me To Once Again Point Fingers Of Blame


I Had Stopped Studying The Word

Had Even Stopped Getting Out Of Bed For Church

 Feeling Depressed About What I Did Not Know

I Had Given All My Angst To God, I Had Let It All Go


I Began Having Problems Falling Asleep  

Lying In Bed Staring At The Ceiling Listlessly

Then  I Heard God Whisper, Cleanse Your Mind Daughter, And Come Back To Me

All It Takes Is Faith As Small As A Mustard Seed


As The New Year Approached

I Prayed For God To Become My Coach

He Said You Have To Work With Me  Child

Ignore The Darkness And  Let The Devil Be  Exiled



Follow My Foot Steps  In Displaying Love And Compassion

Seek  My Path With   Purpose   And Take Action

Offer  Kind Words And Loving Encouragement 

Let People Share In Your Spiritual Nourishment


Love Me With Passion As I Love You

With Me There Is Nothing You Can Not   Do

Walk In My Light And When Darkness Comes Hang On To Me Tight

For You My Child I Will Always Fight



I Turned To  Biblical Sermons And  My Bible And I Made Up My Mind

I Was Getting Up For Church And I Was Going To Be On Time

As I Walked In The Door And Headed To My Pew

I Heard Him Whisper, You Are Mine And I Am Alive In You .
