When I Worry

When I worry—
Negative thoughts erode my frame,
Disturbing voices I cannot tame.
Igniting fires that burn the land.
Turning good ground into sand.

The fear of God my soul’s release,
Unfailing love that will not cease.
Reclaiming victories from my defeat.
Tearing the shroud of sin’s deceit.

So do not let your heart be hard,
when evil tries to blame.
To His great power give regard—
Blessed redemption through His Name.

But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3:13 ESV

How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world. Psalm 31:19 NLT
