Child, don't fall back to your old ways.

I feel a pain, a sickness deep inside me.

It sends my mind into a frenzy of fear.

This used to be the recipe for my spiral, my fall.

But you came to me in a dream and said,

Child, don't fall back to your old ways. 

I spend weeks stressing over a situation I should hand to you.

I seek refuge deep inside my fragile human mind.

The walls start closing a little more tighter.

But I remember what you said that night.

Child, don't fall back to your old ways.

I end up in a place that sends me to emergency.

My heartbeat is out of control.

My mind keeps feeding this worry, this fear.

But I hear it again strong and clear.

Child, don't fall back to your old ways.

The attacks keep coming, one and then another.

I push through the fear and the pain.

The enemy is so persistant in his strikes agaisnt me.

But I have those words come back to my mind.

Child, don't fall back to your old ways. 

I enter a season to learn how to rely on you instead of my fear.

My focus has to shift its gaze heavenward.

I open my bible instead of close the doors in my mind. 

And I now hold onto these words that are love.

Child, don't fall back to your old ways. 

Blessings,
