Trapped is how I feel
Trapped when the desires of my heart goes unfulfilled
Trapped when I’m relying on what the Lord has blessed others with
Trapped yet I’m grateful for his continued provisions
Trapped financially
Trapped by impatience
Trapped as bills pile and late payments rise
Trapped by ideas waiting to be birthed
Trapped by age, status and racial discrimination
Trapped by life’s restrictions
Trapped by my mind’s melancholy
Trapped yet I know that I can do all things through Christ
Trapped by God's love yet his swift rescue is my desire
Trapped but still surrounded by God’s grace and forgiveness
