Worry shadows my mind
In flavors of panic
Anxiety and concern
A rich well of apprehension
Flooding my hope for serenity
Disquiet flows through my veins
In crimson agony
On waves of fearful plans
Fretting on the heart
Who troubles every thought
Uneasiness exaggerates
My placidity, my stillness
The silence that should bring
Fulfillment and wellness
Instead feels dark and dreadful
Burdens cling to my soul
Unending troubles darken
My heart’s deepest grace
The darkness I will face
With a nervous shade of gray
Uneasiness silences my hope
Filling me with despair
Spiritual angst
A war on the inside
Between the mind and soul
Shades of black
Paint faith and love
In dread so murky
It fades all my dreams
To the darkest agonizing
It will take One
Who knows real comfort
To abide on the inside
In hues of grace and peace
Erasing all my fears and tears
With a calm that is alive
On the inkling of hope
Found in the Holy Ghost
It will take One
Who knows my whole heart
To awaken my faith
Discourage stews of disbelief
With a song of devotion
To the One who brings light
Shimmering so alive
Penetrating the soul
With praise for the One who knows
He has all the answers
He is always in control
And fear cannot live
In the heart of those who know
He holds the whole world
In the center of His palm!
Love like this is a cure
For worry that is so brutal
Fear thou not; for I am with thee:
be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;
yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah 41:10
