Worry At Center Stage

A Hard Fact

I crouched down trying to hide from the pain

Then I read something that really changed the game

“Believers should honor God more than they fear death, or than they worry about things like food and clothes. Christians are to remain ready for Christ's return...” ( Luke 12:49. BibleRef.com. (n.d.). )

I ain't gonna lie, I felt a little ashamed

Staying up way past midnight because my worrying is center-stage

Too busy trying to chase success

Pleasing other people put me in this mess

Just praying in the morning won’t pass this test

Why are you asking me about earthly things, when what you should want is only me?

Now this one was deep, on the trajectory to fix my relationship between God and me.

This is when I am the sheep and the Lord is my Sheppard, thank you for guiding me.
