I lie awake at night;
With sweat tickling my face.
I worry about my life;
And what I will embrace.
Will I live to be old?
Will I always be alone?
Is there a chance at eternal happiness;
With the Lord of Heaven above?
I fear what lies ahead;
Uncertain of God's plan.
I think things are fine;
For now, I hope and pray.
I'm not ready for crosses;
I cannot bear alone.
I know Jesus is up there;
Will he hear my cries and moans?
I'm not always thrilled;
With the way life turns out.
I know I should feel blessed;
Instead I pity and pout.
Thinking woes is me;
Life is stinky and bad.
Not much to offer;
Why am I alive and sad?
Sad I don't have this;
Resenting people with that;
Ill at ease with sentiment;
Doomed to fall flat.
Christ is the answer;
I accept this welcoming truth;
Because I love Him so;
No need to hide and sleuth.
The Lord watches over me;
He knows my every move.
He understands my fears;
He does not disapprove.
But instead forgives and forgets;
The wrong I have done.
He loves me unconditionally;
He sees a pretty woman.
Created with a purpose;
To share my gifts and talents.
Push away the fear;
Don't guess God's plan.
Live in the present;
Keep Christ close at heart;
With a mighty Amen.
-J.
