Running
on Empty
by
Barbara Philbrook
Sometimes
I feel as thought I'm running on empty Lord but I know
that's not true,
because on the day I accepted salvation you filled me
with you.
I have to
remind myself I am no longer the person I used to be,
that I am now the new creature that you alone can see.
I
sometimes forget that the new me is going on your
strength not mine,
and that despite what I feel everything is just fine.
I am
blinded by things going on in front of me,
if I forget to surrender my eyes to what you want them to
see.
I can be
discouraged by the things my ears listen to,
if I forget each day to surrender them to you.
My
reactions to things can be way out of line,
if the strength I try to go on is only mine.
Even
though I'm blessed and I can see,
even though I know all of these precious truths you've
revealed to me.
I can
still feel like I'm running on empty today,
if I forget to surrender my all to you as I pray.
