Take It To the Lord
Take it to the Lord
Sad and troubled feelings are upon us in different hues
Deeply disturbed but brave it, showing little or no clues
Bottled inside, turmoil within – the grief only multiplies
The malady when shared with Him, is guaranteed to minimize.
Shed the shyness, the inhibition, the reservation, the ego
Unlock those chains to bring the calm that you forego
Lift the lid of that urn that has long been steaming
Share those locked up feelings with Him who is good at listening.
Friends, family, siblings, peers, neighbors are all too busy
With their load of problems which they also find hard to carry
God who seems so far away in his heavenly abode
Is waiting to extend his comforting hand; to take off your load.
Sincerely seek His protection, His guiding hand never doubt
You need not utter long and complicated prayers aloud
Join your hands in simple conversation and make your requests
Then wait patiently for Him to show how He bequests.
He will give you what you’ve asked for and much much more
You’ll be astounded, ecstatic by His grace and generous measure
After prayers are answered, and you tarry away unburdened
To thank Him and praise His Holy name to others, be certain.
Inspired by my life circumstances.
