Be Strong & Courageous Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Shame-Blame Cycle

But, if we’ve a low esteem
Always carrying, chronic shame
Subconsciously, ever struggling
Feeling guilt, so casting blame.

When failing, we do wrong
Try to bury, in shame
Then, blame on another
While lies excuses, we proclaim.

And yet our hope is not in weapons
The arm of flesh, will fail
Pray Israel trust in the LORD
Know her Messiah, wholly prevail.

And Modern Israel again
Of these words, must take heed
Yet likewise, on our journey
We too also, have need.

We’re challenged, on every side
Not crushed, tho’ hard-pressed
But thro’ Jesus, not despairing
Our Great Potter, knows best.

So, be of good cheer
For Jesus has overcome
The world, the flesh and the devil
Know in Him, we have won.

Denying, defending
Denouncing as true
Each weakness and failure
God points out to you?

Once we’re strong in the Lord
And the power of His might
In the armor of God
Each temptation takes flight.

Speak out for righteousness
Declare God’s Truth
Be a woman of valor
Be engaged, not aloof.

Overwhelmed, on our own
We feel helpless, and lost
So set our mind, believe God’s Word
There is victory, through the cross.
