Worry at the edge of a cliff.

Worry

By: Erin

Dedicated: To my mom: I love you so much.

Worry sits in places of my body

Like in my chest

Like in my stomach

Like in my shoulders

And some of the rest

Worry eats at my heart and my soul

Pushing and fighting my mind for control

Saying:

“Don’t enjoy the moment you’re in.”

“Obsess over the ones that have yet to begin.”

Worry creeps into my being unwanted uninvited

Ruining my joy with the question: “What if?”

Feeling as though you are living on the edge of a cliff

Preventing trust, hope, love and peace

Worry does nothing but make discomfort increase

So how do we combat this difficult and hard feeling?

This is something I need to face – as part of my healing

The truth is I don’t know

Right now I’m wracked with worry to the extreme

And it seems never ending – like a rushing stream

But if God is sovereign over everything like we’ve been taught

I guess the only thing I can think of is to pray and give him a shot

A shot to work in my heart

For the wisdom he does impart

A shot to allow me to grow

It is true I may be a little hesitant though

A shot to do work in me

So that others may see

There is no need to worry after all

Christ died for it all
