Worry

Worrying is hard not to do It's all too natural for you You have many things to do Those things are piling up on you There are words to say, bills to pay Tension is increasing each day But worrying just does not pay It adds no hours to your day 'Worry not about tomorrow For each day has enough sorrows' The One who knows your tomorrow Speaks soothing words to your sorrows You say, 'How can I not worry? Burdens are weighing down on me!' God says, 'My child, do not worry Lay your heavy burdens on me' 'I've dealt with your greatest burden Your burden of sin I've taken Give to me your lesser burdens Those burdens I've also taken' 'Now, look at the birds of the air Flying freely without a care If God feeds the birds of the air For you, dear child, He'll love and care' Worrying is hard not to do It may be natural for you But God's Word tells us what to do Seek first God’s kingdom; seek what’s true

Amen! Yes, this poem was written based on the truth of God's Word in Matthew 6:25-34. We can take comfort in God's sovereignty, love, and care.
