Today, I am sharing a poem inspired by the writings of Jesus in Matthew 6: 31-33.
You can also read an article I wrote titled, why should we care?
Here it goes:
***
Why do we worry?
Why worry?
Should we lie awake through long nights
carrying the rocks and burdens
sighing and crying?
Why do you worry?
Does it add fresh skin or
grow new hair on you?
Why do we worry?
Does it make us taller, richer, or poorer?
Or does it not leave us poorer in mind, health, and body?
Does it not make us richer in pain, hopelessness, and fear
Does not worry, suck out the beauty of grace
of life,
of faith
steals all peace
joy and righteousness in the Holy Ghost
Worry
takes away the desire to look into each day
and leaves indelible worried lines on faces
Do not worry
Father knows, sees and hears
Take all the burdens upwards
Throw them at his feet
He is ever willing, not tired or worn out
to bear all problems on Himself.
