The pressures of this world confronted me,
The worries of tomorrow surrounded me,
The stress of lack attacked me.
Thoughts enveloped my life:
Will I amount to expectations?
Do I know where I am going?
Will I have enough?
The more I worried the more frustrations mounted upon my shoulders,
The fears overtook my heart,
The complacency overwhelmed me.
Little did I know,
Lies attacked my heart,
Fear distracted my thoughts,
and worry captivated my mind.
Are the worries and fears and lies destroying the only sense of hope I have?
Is the fear of tomorrow blinding me from the promise in this moment?
Are the plans for the future distracting me from today?
What if I took every step in true confidence that God is leading me in those steps?
What if I went when He called me, and never relented to the temporary comforts of this world?
What if??????
Will I? Will we?
Live in the now. Relax. Live the life you have right now.
Dont live for tomorrow, for next year, or for later.
Live now. Before now is dead.
