"Guide Their Steps"

"Don't give in,
though the cravings,
may be many and fast.
Now look at that!
It's now in the past.
It is your choice,
the strength of It's Voice.
If it be powerful,
or if it be weak.
If you deny it,
or listen when it speaks.

This is a battle,
you don't have to fight alone,
but it is one,
you will have to bravely decide,
if you will remain victorious,
or just give in and die.
Stop punishing yourself,
for what you have done,
and turn and face,
what you were running from.
I know you may be apprehensive,
and the thought could leave you scared,
but if you rely on Jesus,
you will be prepared,
because with Him there is no battle,
you can't stand and face,
and the past of you,
is already forgiven,
by His Mercy and Grace.

Who says you don't deserve,
a good life,
with happy children,
and a loving wife?
If there is someone,
even if it be you,
just know that is so very untrue.
You can start over!
You can do it today!
Take the Lord's Hand,
for He prepares The Way,
and is the strength,
you need to truly face the day,
with your head held high,
because you faced addiction,
and lived instead of died,
and can tell others,
how the Devil lied,
and help guide their path,
to the narrow,
where at one time,
it was so wide."
