ANXIETY: A poem to encourage you now

Anxiety consumes me
Scares me, shuts me down
I am silent with fear,
I try but can’t rebound.
Where can I hide
Till “‘It” goes away?
What can I do?
When will I play?
I look to God.
Is He even there?
I know He is,
But I don’t feel His care.
I speak to my soul,
“Soul, why so blue”?
I echo King David,
“It’s up to you.” ‘
“Put your hope in God;
Praise Him with song
Lift up your eyes;
For to God you belong.
You are his child;
He holds you near
You are not going to fall;
You don’t have to fear.
You are rising up
With each new dawn,
Your smile returns;
You have a new song.
Glory to God.
Anxiety is gone.
Give Him thanks;
YOU HAVE OVERCOME!
