When the worry tugs and the anxiety hugs, step back, start over AR

Monday Message

Assume the best
Expect the least

​Fall down on your knees
Back up again

Lord, please?

Tell me where I am wavering
Show me the holes
Where I am caving

In too deep
Too fast
No sleep

Where is this moment of clarity?
Of joy?
Of peace?

While thunder rumbles
And lightning strikes
Raining down upon every crevice of my mind

And I ache to know
How do I truly let go?

How do I stop the voices that pry?
The silent cries
Of my body that aches
And my mind that races
As I’m waiting for the moment that this all crumbles
And this all breaks

​Keep going
They say
Keep trying
It’s okay

But the worry tugs
The anxiety hugs
So tight I can’t break away

So I stay

I stay in wonder
I sit in awe

Of how in the world have I come this far?
Even when I doubt
Even when I break
Even when all darkness begins to try to take

There You are
Reminding me again
That there is hope here

Here amid starting over again
Because that’s what the beauty of life is…

Starting over again
And again
Because you can
Because He is

The power and the strength
To carry you through your days

Even in those moments that you feel you are failing in all the ways

Let me remind you my friend
That to be here again
Starting over again
Is exactly where hope lives

So take a step back
Soak it all in
