last night, i cried myself to sleep again... and before i fell to sleep i remember asking You to hold me tight because i don't like feeling alone... when i woke up... i felt warmth on my back... unlike the previous nights, i was able to sleep comfortably in another chilly night... in my heart, i had this assurance that you stayed with me through the night... i felt loved once again...

as the day unfolds, i was reminded again of my faults... voices telling me that i am never gonna amount to anything... that i would never be good enough at anything... and that i would never deserve the things i have longed for...

i hid in a quiet room hoping to hear Your voice again... and out of nowhere i felt the urge to stand up this time... i no longer want to get stuck feeling like a sulking loser... i'm tired of all these defense... it's time for the offense...

somehow, i felt a strong urge to fight the devil's lies... this is not me... for 9 months i've been deceived by all these lies... i know what i can do... and i know what more i can still do... it's time for the offense...

and so now i stand here with Your word as my sword and the assurance of Your love as my shield...

i don't believe that i will not be bless if i leave... for Your blessing is not tied to just one place... i believe Your promise that wherever i go, Your goodness and mercy will follow me... i was just forced to fit in the wrong mold... but now i was reminded of who i really am... i know my identity...

i am Your child... it is Your will to bless me... because You do love me... and so here i am claiming that blessing... i'm not asking out of arrogance... but that i believed it when You said ask and it shall be given to you... and so from now on i will keep on asking until You answer me... i know You will remember my name... i know You will recognize my voice...

it is time for the offense... it is time to stop listening to the devil's lies... here i am claiming my right as a child of God...

Father, i am here... asking for You to bless me...
