Duped by Distractions?

Are you caught up with ‘life’
Desires of the flesh
Deceived by the devil
Let this world enmesh?

Have you stopped, given thought
Does joy fill your soul
Have you gladness of heart?
For in Him, you are whole.

Feeling your failing
Seems God, is not answering
Frustrated by failure
Confusion and cancelling.

Are you dealing with feelings
The ups and downs?
Our emotions, so powerful
To which we seem bound.

Yet contentment is found
In Christ, our true rest
Satisfied, despite trials
Knowing God, seeks our best.

Set free from all bondage
From rituals, religion
Customs, convention
Worldliness, and tradition.

Seems feelings, change often
Are not easily controlled
So we seek, passing pleasures
Hope our feelings, are consoled.
