It’s ok to struggle

[Alan Heeley]

It’s ok to struggle
It’s ok to struggle
It’s ok to feel down
It’s ok to want out for a while.. it’s ok to just want to go back to bed
it’s ok to let today
Just pass you by,
Go over your head

It’s ok not to feel all happy clappy
Not to bounce around with the joy of the Lord
it’s ok to struggle
And feel ‘out of sorts’
Jesus knew it would happen
That there would be days like this
He knew there would be time for cuddles
Times to hide on the clef of the rock
He even inspired David to write Psalm 46 verse 10
Then when rested
And you got your mojo back
It’s straight to Isiah 40: 31
With joy of the Lord and strength restored

It’s

Back to soaring like eagles,
Running and not get puffed out walking and not getting light headed
With normal service restored

I’M BACK!

Your poem is very encouraging brother Alan.
Thank you for sharing

I love the flow of this poem and it’s repetitive free verse and the pause before the hope arrives. I can also feel the air in your steps

Hello Alan;

It's ok to struggle and have those days of unhappiness. When I go to the Lord and confess I'm really struggling or am unhappiness, it's amazing how He makes clear the lesson I may need to process about myself. God always gets me past my struggle and brings a new day of happiness to me. All for His glory.

God bless you, brother.

Wrote this as I was ‘seeing’ a Christian year in her walk with God struggling wondering why she didn’t feel as ‘on fire’ for Jesus as she first did
