What kind of warrior shall I be?

Sara Bareilles, how I love thee and thy poetic song lyrics.  Seeing her live in concert is BUCKET LIST baby!  Here is a transcription of the song Hercules:

I miss the days my mind would just rest quiet
My imagination hadn't turned on me yet
I used to let my words wax poetic
But it melted a puddle at my feet now
It is a calcifying crime, it's tragic
I've turned to petrified past life baggage
I want to disappear and just start over
So here we are

And I'll breathe again...

Cause I have sent for a warrior
From on my knees, make me a Hercules
I was meant to be a warrior please
Make me a Hercules

I've lost a grip on where I started from
I wish I'd thought ahead and left a few crumbs
I'm on the hunt for who I've not yet become
But I'd settle for a little equilibrium
There is a war inside my heart gone silent
Both sides dissatisfied and somewhat violent
The issue I have now begun to see
I am the only lonely casualty

This is not the end though...

Cause I have sent for a warrior
From on my knees, make me a Hercules
I was meant to be a warrior please
Make me a Hercules
Cause I have sent for a warrior
From on my knees, make me a Hercules
I was meant to be a warrior please
Make me a Hercules

This is my darkest hour
A long road has lead me out here
But I only need turn around to face the light
And decide flight or fight

Cause I have sent for a warrior
From on my knees, make me a Hercules
I was meant to be...
Cause I have sent for a warrior
From on my knees, make me a Hercules
I was meant to be a warrior please
Make me a Hercules

I listen to this song... ALOT.  Just ask Bella.  I can see her eye-rolling and asking, "do we really have to listen to this AGAIN?"  I find this song to me is really a musical prayer request for the strength to get through the valleys of life.  While I enjoy the image of wanting to be a strong warrior like Hercules, I find my own prayer keeps drifting in another direction.  I find I pray to be more like David, a young shepherd who had the courage to take on a giant armed with just a slingshot and his faith in God.  I can readily identify with David's weakness and the seemingly unsurmountable obstacles in his path.  I rely on God to get through this life and look forward to my eternal life to come.

Fight on warriors!

All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.” ~ 1 Samuel 17:47
