When I wrote this song I was feeling as defeated as I have ever felt in all my life.
I felt that I always needed to defend myself or prove myself as worthy enough. I stood in the bathroom in the middle of the day looking at myself in the mirror with tears streaming down my face and thought to myself, “no matter what I do I am still not good enough.
Who will fight for me? I’m so tired, and I can't go on.
I not only felt alone, but for a moment I thought that maybe God had forgotten about me. Maybe He was mad at me, and now I would have to suffer for all the times I had fallen short...
With the last bit of strength I had, I fell to my knees right there on the tile floor and cried out to God, and He met me in my puddle of tears. That tiny bathroom became the birthplace of this song, where I learned that I didn’t have to fight anymore.
God goes before me, and He fights my battles! Not only does He fight the battle, but He also gives me the victory as if I did all the work! He gently reminded me that I don’t have to do anything because He has the final say over my life and who I am. Whatever little I had to give that day was more than enough, because He is enough.
God never changes. God never loses. His Spirit will move for you just like it did for me.
My problems aren’t over. I still have to take my stand in His victory every day. But when the fight is on, it’s good to take just a few moments to open the Bible and realize it says the same thing today as it always has. He fights for me. I’m worth the battle to Him!
I pray that as you share this song with me your worship will prepare you for the wonderful harvest ahead.
