in the very beginning

THE SUN RISES THROUGH MY LIVING ROOM WINDOW. I WANT TO OPEN UP MY BIBLE AND DIVE IN. SO, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I DO. MY INSPIRATION BEGINS. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A SPIRITUAL WAR GOING ON AND I WANT TO FIGHT IT. LIKE IN THE MOVIE TROY. I FEEL LIKE I AM PARIS (ORLANDO BLOOM) AND MENELAUS (THE WARRIOR) STANDS IN FRONT OF ME. WITH MY SWORD AND SHIELD I SWING AND MISS AND SWING AND MISS. ONCE IN A WHILE I GET A GOOD PUNCH IN BUT IT SEEMS TO ONLY FURTHER THE AGGRIVATION AND BUT FUEL IN HIS BONES. THE FATIGUE SETS IN BUT I WANT THIS WAR TO END. I GIVE IT MY ALL, THEN THE GIANT SAYS TO ME, "IS THAT IT? ." I FEEL LIKE WEEPING AND I CRAWL AWAY BECAUSE OF THE SHADOW STANDING OVER ME. I CRY OUT FOR GOD. IMMEDIATELY HE STEPS IN AND HE FIGHTS. INSTANT VICTORY! ONE EVIL WARRIOR DOWN BUT THE OTHERS RUN AS FAST AS THEY CAN TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR OTHER SOULS. QUICKLY, MY LORD AND SAVIOR GRABS MY HAND AND I AM NO LONGER IN TARGET. MY SOUL BELONGS TO MY GOD FOREVER. THAT IS SECURE AND TRUE.

PSALMS 6:8-10

DEPART FROM ME, ALL YOU WORKERS OF INIQUITY; FOR THE LORD HAS HEARD MY SUPPLICATION; THE LORD WILL RECEIVE MY PRAYER. LET ALL MY ENEMIES BE ASHAMED AND GREATLY TROUBLED; LET THEM TURN BACK AND BE ASHAMED SUDDENLY
