Carrying or Casting our Cares?

“And so be anxious for nothing,
But always, by prayer and supplication,
With thanksgiving, let your requests,
Be made known to God”…in faith, no hesitation.

Casting Our Cares

Oft’ weighed down, with our worries;
Concerns, cares that we carry;
So, feel anxious, agitated;
Bearing burdens, we can’t bury.

Anxiety, Depression:  A Brain or Heart Disorder?

And so, anxiety and depression;
Two perspectives, two worldviews;
Based on men, or God’s Word;
Which one, will you choose?

If in Christ, Victims or Victors?

So not to focus, on our feelings;
But recall, our Victor, Jesus;
Not to fall into self-pity;
We are victorious, He’s ever with us.

My Rejection

Recalling Jesus, despised, rejected
Calls us, come follow Him
He knows well, all our sorrows
He gives us grace, comforts within.

Seeing Beyond

Are we seeing beyond
Life’s heartaches and pain
Great suffering, and sorrow
…Yet see God, bring gain?

No Complaining – Always Give Thanks

So do rejoice, evermore
And pray without ceasing
In everything, give thanks
This is God’s will, unceasing.

Heart Cry

When my heart, is overwhelmed
Lead me, to the rock
That is higher than I
My shelter… You unlock.

Be Steadfast

So do pray, that our hearts
Remain steadfast, unmoved
Walk by faith, not feelings
In Christ, wholly approved.

Tools God Uses

And so, despite facing testing
Know ‘tis but for a while
In the end, greater glory
So greet with joy, every trial.
