Poem

Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors – old African proverb
  
My mind was racing
Worries were chasing
Away my peace, my faith
The belief that gave me
A sense of hope, grace, relief

Joy was taken from my heart
As I reached toward the part
Of me that kissed the moon
With stardust whispers
Gentle wishes for all my dreams
In spite of the darkness
Settling in around my thoughts
Leaving me with shadows
Of worry, dread and doubt

Anxiety feels like a monster
Ferocious as thunder bursting
Through the sky, angry
Like a storm crashing through
The silence of night, falling
Down heartaches and angst
Enraged by the gentleness
Of my soul’s faith

I remembered Job
The righteous one
Who prayed and prayed
And never left the faith
Felt the loss and pain
The despair and disdain
The sorrow of one
Broken and shamed
Still he stayed calm
And claimed the Lord
As the One who would
Calm his heart
With renewal and hope

There were others
Who lamented and fussed
Agonized with concerns
Trouble all around them
Claiming to surround them
With apprehension

Through it all, though
God breathed on the soul
A stillness, a calm
A worry balm
That broke through the worry
And filled minds with pure
Faith, grace, hope
For a second chance
A new day, a new way
Dawn’s clear to pray
Shining down on the heart
Who knows that, once sought
God will answer His child
With a peace that lights
Up the soul, forever 
Faithful and filled with
Kindness and joy
A sense of still wonder

Let go of your worry 
Discover God’s glory
Inside the one who knows
His promises are assured
He is forever the cure
For any hurt or sorrow
He relieves all concern
Lifts burdens and brings love
That softens the heart
And stills the nervous thoughts
With a light that shines through
To dispel lies, bring truth
God is the answer
Forever the Savior
