Devotional Poetry

Power Within

Power Within

Fear makes a tight knot
in my belly,
helpless
I cower within my self-made prison
unable to overcome my own weaknesses.

I'm not alone
created in the image of God
the power to overcome is within.

Each of His Manifestations have given
the same advice,
in different words.

Each has come to help humanity evolve;
to help us step beyond
the prison of self,
and overcome
our own weaknesses.

The voices of God's Chosen Ones
echo down through history
repeating,
each in His own language,
the same advice.

To find the Power of God
that lies within,
we must look withing,
and learn to know ourselves.

By placing our complete trust
in the voice of God
and listening
to advice given us
we can overcome.

I feel the knot loosening,
hear the prison doors opening,
and see the chains falling.
