Never Be Anxious - Wise Advice
A long time ago
Some wise advice was shared
And it's very helpful for us today.
This is how much the advisor cared.
It's in our human nature
To worry about tomorrow
Especially if in recent times
We've faced challenges, fear and sorrow.
"Never be anxious about the next day."
Easier said than done, well known.
But the wisdom is clear to see because
"Each day has troubles of its own."
Prior to this the great teacher asked,
And reason on this of you can,
"Who of you by being anxious
Can add to your life span?"
And though troubles may seem endless
And with it quite severe,
It is possible not to be overwhelmed
By unhealthy, anxious fear.
These practical words of wisdom
Came from one who knows the best
How calmer you will feel inside
If you put them to the test.
If we can learn to take
Each day as it comes along,
We will find ourselves surprised at how
Following this advice can make us strong.
(Matthew 6:34, 27)
