fight. I felt like I was always defeated. I am thankful for a friend who
constantly reminded me that the battles aren’t always mine to fight.
She gave me a beautiful wall hanging that said “The Lord
will fight for you, you just have to be still” Exodus 14:14
The truth is that is so dang hard for me. Most of my life I didn’t have someone who
would protect me, so I had to protect myself.
It has made parts of me so hard. Walls built up. Took years to begin disassembling the walls
that it took decades to build. I can finally see over them.
It’s still hard not to fight. No matter what it is that is going on. I want to throw down like the WWE.
Recently I had an issue arise and I had to go to people for help. People that I’ve never had to go to before. It was difficult and uncomfortable. The whole thing actually threw me for a loop. It dug up a bunch a stuff that I thought I was over, but like the sediment on the bottom or a river, it swirled around me. Moments I felt suffocated. It was hard not to flail about. I had to remain calm and trust.
There was crying, praying, reminding myself to remain calm.
I find myself at peace because those people I reached out
to, they loved me, and are walking through it with me. I am thankful. More
thankful than I could have expected. I’m thankful for those that God has exalted into leadership in my life, I am thankful for God’s protection, and theirs.
It’s how I fight my battles.
There's a table that You've prepared
for me
In the presence of my enemiesIt's Your body and Your blood You shed for me
This is how I fight my battles
There's a table that You've prepared for me
It's Your body and Your blood You shed for me
This is how I fight my battles
And I will lift my song of
Praise for what You've done
is how I fight my battles,
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles, this is how
Verse 2:
In the valley I know that You're with me
Surely Your goodness and Your mercy follow me
My weapons are Praise and Thanksgiving
This is how I fight my battles
Pre-Chorus:
I believe You've overcome
And I will lift my song of
Praise for what You've done
Chorus:
This is how I fight my battles,
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles, this is how
This is how I fight my battles,
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles, this is how
Spontaneous:
Oh Jesus, Oh Jesus
Calling on your name is how I fight
Bridge:
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
It may look like I'm surrounded but I'm surrounded by You
Chorus:
This is how I fight my battles,
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles, this is how
This is how I fight my battles,
This is how I fight my battles
This is how I fight my battles, this is how
