Things on my mind

I worry too much.

I allow things
I can't control
to take my energy
to steal my joy

I allow people
I don't care about
push me to anger
to skew my focus

Often I am
debilitated by these
worries
unecessary concerns

Headaches abound
sleep is lost
important things
are forgotten
pushed aside

I prayed out loud
in the car this morning
begging the Lord
to take away
the anxiety
I seem intent on keeping

The issues on my mind
are important
somewhat
but not life or death
only inconvenient

There is backstabbing
going on
I can't control
and shouldn't be concerned with
it bothers me
it hurts my feelings

I have to let go and let God
And wherever
the chips may fall
that is where the Lord
planned for them
to be

And all my worries
won't have changed
a thing

You're right! All your worrying won't change a thing. Leave it in God's hands and put that smile back on your face!

Oh Dang. I'm sitting here trying to figure out why your post has my eyes full of tears.

It's because I existed in every word of that post. Not some of it. Not most of it. But all of it... from praying in the car to losing sleep.

I go through these seasons of getting run down and letting my hope-meter run low. And hope is tied to faith... meaning the low places are a test of my very faith.

Thanks for sharing. I found my way here from Chele's blog.
