No Worry Anymore

I don’t want to worry anymore.


Don’t want to fear
the phone call,
the bill, arriving unexpected
by mail,
the month left
at the end
of the money,
the unseen predator,
the crisis not mine,
but mine to fix
or forever wonder
if my two mites
could have made the difference
after all, at last,
the natural disaster,
the unnatural disaster
caused by consequences
unintended,
unforeseen.


I don’t want to worry
about any
thing, any
more.


And so, I give all
of this worry unworthy
to You
Who sees only and all real
threats to me coming,
no surprise,
no problem,
only gracious provision
preprepared.

  1. Love this, and the reminder to give it all to the Lord.
    It's what I have been trying to do.

  2. It is the only way. Yet worry we do and we stress ourselves needlessly in our pride. Jesus tells us over and over NOT to worry, but to trust Him in ALL things.

Noise

Clutter is noise to the eye A cacophony of chaos That distracts Forces lids shut Like hands over ears Desperate for focus nowhere Yet everywhere to be found Too many choices Eyes need a place to land Clean up clutter Clear view Clear mind Find peace Breathe deep See clear

But

I am trusting God to provide the money, the time, the health— every resource I find so necessary, but if He does not, He is enough. He will always be enough because He is the reason for my being. He created me for Him, to worship Him through all eternity which begins right now, which began when I first knew Him back then at six. But for now, I am here, asking for needs to be met— trusting, waiting, trying, working— all in His presence. If nothing comes of it, He is here. He is there. He is God, and I’m His child. All is well.
