Tangled

I kept getting tangled in the thoughts that I thunk To many problems intertwined with old junk The who and the why the where and the what None could be answered to many doors had been shut I wanted clear cut answers so I looked to my dreams But my mind kept on slipping seeping out at the seams What I needed was quiet to escape the voices in my head So I cleared my mind fully as I lay in my bed I heard a small whisper “Your problems aren’t you’re own, I’ve always been here with you I’d never leave you alone.” Peace came over me I was finally at rest Jesus took all my burdens and I became truly blest.

Nice to remember no matter how tangled one gets ... there’s an “untangler” always on hand. You have good reflections and thoughts here. Easy to spin in circles in one’s head ... Jesus is a good sedative to keep the doubts at bay.

Loved this Richard. Many will relate. We all have so many questions in our head that keep popping up often, faith and prayers give solace. A stong faith and belief that we are safe in God's pure hands and cultivating the ability to go with the flow of God's master plans with a cheerful mind.. will help a lot. God bless. ~ Ani

Ahh a faith based beauty Rick. I could identify with you through each stanza, not expecting the ending, and was happy to see that I could still identify with you at the end. Take care Rick

A very lovely loving cute poem, Jesus came to your rescue and I'm sure all your worries and thoughts melted into oblivion. Such a superb poem my friend. I feel like you sometimes, my reaction is going to Church lighting a candle and sitting silently for the time I need, to talk to God. Hugs, and blessings, Jennifer.

Hi Richard, Lovely inspiring write. It reminds me of Footprints, have you ever read it? I pray morning and night, and more when I need to, to our Father Jehovah through his son Jesus. They are what gets me through. Look after yourself. Frances
