Satan, So Misunderstood
By Mark Edgemon

 Thank you so much my dear Satan,
For pointing out my weaknesses;
Giving me clear direction on where to pray
And the people who I must make apologies.

 

I appreciate the hindrances you do so well,
Giving me challenges to overcome;
So I may be strong of character
And understanding of other's faults.

 

And it is kind of you to send me enemies,
That I may use for spiritual target practice;
Perfecting my God given skills as a warrior,
So that I may never be afraid of what might come!

 

And let me not forget the multitude of doubts,
Driving me constantly to my knees;
Receiving reassurance from my Father above,
Strengthening my faith in the process.

 

I understand you have been hurt by my actions of late.
You must believe that I no longer need you.
Well fear not, you have succeeded in being my devil's advocate,
I would have been weak before God without you!
