facing all those demons, fighting
desperately to win the battle raging
in your mind and spirit as they confounded you
and belittled you and pulled you in to the abyss of despair.
I know how it felt to fight that battle
I know how you feel.
I have worn those shoes, i have looked the devil in the eye
and fought in desperation to be the victor.
I have been ridiculed and humiliated in the presence
of evil and begged only that an intercessor could
fight in my behalf and save me from this onslaught of evil.
I have been in the depths of despair to see
those dark and negative spirits with voices
claiming outright they had "come to kill me."
I have been there feeling certain that my
end was sealed and my choice to end this life
was certain and final
but........
GOD had better plans for my soul than for me to lose
it to the enemy.....
GOD fought in my behalf when i could not....
GOD sent the intercessor who, more powerful than
any thought the enemy could have, came down,
through the top of my head and shot out straight
toward the enemy before me and fought for me
and drove the enemy from my presence and
comforted me, loved me, and gave me the assurance
that i was saved and that i had much work to do
for the life in me that had just been saved.....spared.
Yes, i have been in those shoes, and didn't know if i
would live or die.........but....
with a smile i tell you now, that GOD
had bigger plans for my life and has taught
me everyday since that choosing to end my life
by my own choice is wrong. HE will come to you,
HE will intervene for you, HE will intercede for you,
and HE will save you from the darkness of your mind and heart and soul...
you just have to ask........
that's all
just ask.....
celebrate your life, those that love you around you,
and live....
be confident with each new breath, each new step, each new thought.....
life will be as new to you ......
and you will go forth as a warrior,
a guardian angel warrior,
sword in hand.....
helping others defeat the enemies they too face.
Stay with us......
You are Loved.

divinely given
This is just amazingly inspiring beautiful sad and have a very deep understanding to what you speak lots of people go through depression but to search out to understand why and ask God write him a letter {he has always been there}
express your soul and sooner than later he will answer you believe I say from experiences I believe this very much but its up to the person and sometimes you can only send them healing love and put them in your prayers nothing you give is lost..trust.
gee thank you I lost a young member of my family and this poem just helped me release more thank you so much for your gift of words of wisdom
Much Love

"HE will intervene for you, HE will intercede for you,
and HE will save you from the darkness of your mind and heart and soul...
you just have to ask........"
I could relate to your poem. Wonderful, courageous and fierce. Loved it. I love this stanza because you are relating the darkness to within instead of some form on the outside. How true. Only way to fight evil is to know thyself, having defeated ones own demons
Love it. Thank you for sharing this intimate poem with everyone. I'm sorry for your loss
May God be with you as He already is

Recovering slowly got it so right here! This was so well described throughout and touched my heart as I'm sure it will touch the hearts of many others! I also hope that ScarletO finds comfort in this wonderfully honest and thoughtful piece if writing! Blissful Princess (Sarah)

Oh boy this is so sad but also a fantastic tribute to the people you have written it for. Death affects us all in different ways, some people get on with it and try their best to live with the situation. Others want to forget about everything and also be dead. But u have used this grief in a most positive way you can, you have written about it thus somewhat getting it all off your chest. I am sure the people you have written this for will be very proud of you and I hope that Scarlet0 finds some comfort in this. Well done and thank you for sharing it with us all here on AP
