Pushing through my weakness

my only hope in progress

in chipping away at the piles

the burdens, the tasks not leaving

by my inattention, my fear

separating me from God

pushing through my weakness

my doubts, my avoidance

with the help of my Savior

only in doing, going,

do I have hope at all.
