TRAPPED BY CIRCUMSTANCES


Sometimes situations happen that can actually have you feeling trapped and alone
All seems dark.Pain comes to live within your heart.The trap becomes your home
You thought this would never happen to you.Your nightmare has come true...
There seems NO WAY out of your situation.You're powerless..there's nothing you can do
You might be trapped by sin..trapped by error..trapped by sickness..trapped by finances
Trapped by satan..trapped by evil ones...your trap can be one of many circumstances
Yet the pain,the stress,the despair, the feeling of entrapment and the fear of being ruined
Run through all of them like the tears of your heart...an inward agony runs through them


Time becomes consumed by the trap and inside you may feel like your heart is dying
"How could this of happened?"you say to yourself,..yet part of you can't give up trying
Trying to break free..trying to find a way out...seeking God for mercy to set you free
Only you know how this happened to you,there are things that only God can see
Sometimes there are hidden things,secret things,things that only you yourself know
Yet the grace of God is near at hand,as you seek his face his mercy will flow
Every situation cannot last forever,you being trapped is NOT the end of YOU
Satan delights at the trap you're in,BUT THE LORD YOUR GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH!!


The trap your in has bound you,hindering your life,creating heartache and pain
You feel it is suffocating you,Sucking the life out your very soul..such strain
You would do anything to go back in time to avoid falling into the trap you're now in
Cry out to god for mercy,DON'T GIVE UP...GOD WILL SURLEY HELP YOU TO WIN!!
For every trap set for your feet ,God will delicately pull your feet out from the snare
Afterwards,you might be limping...you might be in pain..but believe me..he truly CARES
ALL Traps are set up by satan to ruin you,to rob you,to bring you down,to damage you life
Yet christ wants to deliver you from this private personal war??He WILL ..end the strife!!

I know this trap far too well so much so it pained me to read this only because of how true it is for me, often times the only thing I know to do is to trust God it's like a daily ritual trust God and wait, always the trusting and waiting more waiting and then much more waiting and though And though I cannot see past this circumstance and trap all I know to do is to trust him and wait.

But I wonder... though I cannot see any of this ever going away and though I cannot see my circumstance doing a 180 I trust him and wait, I wonder if maybe that is what it really means to (see)

Hi Blain thank you so much for responding to this poem.when I wrote it I was actually in a kind of a trap the enemie had me in and I was feeling overwhelmed by it all and I just created it there and then.

I am glad that the content of the poem mirrored your life experiences..often when we are trapped in a situation (regardless if is our own fault or things just happen to us which we never expected)..god is right there with us.Many times we don't feel that he is there..but belive me he is.Jesus himself was often faced with others trying to trap him (which he always avoided)..and whatever it is that you're going through "GOD IS WITH YOU!!!"

many my times when you can't do anymore about a situation you're in it is just a case of trusting god to change the situation you are in and it is never easy at times because our life experiences have a great impact on us emotionally,physically and mentally which can make our experience of faith in Goda bit like a rollercoaster as times.ALL TRIALS HAVE A TIME LIMIT and god has set the time when the situation you are in will come to an end.God also allows a situation to actually change us and when you are finally out of the situation when you look back you actually realise that god was using that trial do deal with a part of you that nothing else could be used to deal with.

I will remember you in my prayers regarding what you're going through mate.May god strengthen you til the very end in the mighty name of Jesus!,

This as well as your poem speaks a lot to what I have experienced and still experience nowadays. And I came to a point where I just needed to put a stop to it and just set my focus and attention most on God. This doesn't mean that everything is perfectly easy for me right now, but the last warning I have gotten has made me realize I need to solely have my full trust and focus in God, and I wish to listen to this as well as taking it serious. Warnings are meant to be taken serious, or else one can or will get into trouble for not listening to it.

It is really encouraging and a great affirmation for me reading your poem as well as the message you wrote for Blain. Thank you for your words, they are really helpful! May God continue blessing you! :)

Hi Morning flower thank you for your comments.I will forever be touched by anyone who god ministered to through anything that I do because I know that people are so so precious to god and i have gone through terribly traumatic situations ovrr the years and there has been no one to really call upon that would be able to understand and be able to encourage me.Yet God himself Has Forever encouraged me In millions of ways and any poem I post..It's from personal life experiences.God has turned the wounds of my broken life to comfort those needing encouragement and empathy ect..
So there is a massive story behind every poem posted here.
I too have ignored gods warnings out of a proud and presumptions heart in the past and paid the price many times and just like you there comes a point when one just has to wake up or DIE..
Yet just like you the struggles and attacks for the enemie continue..but having a different mindset makes all the difference.
I praise God for you life and I am blessed to be a member of C.C...may god continue to be you only source of strength..and I am sure you're going through STUFF right at THIS moment......I just felt to say this to you..
"Morning flower. .God sees you in the crowds.He sees you when your alone and he knows the things that trouble you ever so deeply.He knows the things you think about when you lie in yiur bed at night..He wants you to know that you're NOT alone and his MIGHTY HAND IS COVERING YOU FROM THE ATTACKS OF THE ENEMIE.."at times you may feel that you're not gonna make it or that you're gonna go under.."..but know this sweet child of the father.."weeping may endure for the night..but joy WILL come in the MORNING"..That poem you recently read about the dawn in nature..is a metaphor for your coming MORNING...There is gonna be a change..god hasn't planned ANY defeats for you..You're gonna make it..i say again.."GOD HASN'T PLANNED ANY DEFEATS FOR YOU!!"
You're the HEAD and NOT the TAIL!"..Jesus loves you more than you will EVER know!

Just hang in there!!

Thank you very much! I needed to read this.

I sometimes can feel alone because I don't always feel understood with what I go through, but I also remind myself at these times that God understands me, and He knows what I am going through and what I feel and think. It is very touching what you write to me there, that God sees me and has His mighty hand covering me from the attacks of the enemy. Because the enemy has been telling me that he/they plan to be defeating me, this was made very clear to me, so I took serious heed to this warning. Having God's protection over me is very important to me, as well as knowing He will fight for me and with me. I have put my trust in Him to be doing this, even though it also helps getting affirmation from someone else who hears from God and who He uses to encourage me to continue doing what I am doing now, trusting Him in all of this.

Again, Thank You! I appreciate everything you have shared with me in here!

God continue blessing you, and use you to bless others!
