Analysis of Before the Next Challenge
Dear Lord, I need serenity
To face all my adversity.
The walls are closing in.
I must accept that life has frowns
And sometimes quickly knocks me down.
Self-image hurts within.
Please grant me courage in each fight
So I may stand through day and night.
I need encouragement!
Please also give me wisdom for
Each challenge You allow and more,
Before the next one's sent!
