DON’T WORRY<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

05-23-2018<\/p>\n

So many times we often fear,
\nThings whispered in our ear.
\nOr we read stuff in the news,
\nThat gives us negative views.<\/p>\n

The web too fills with fright,
\nKeeping us up half the night.
\nAll these voices give us worry,
\nMakes us want our head to bury.<\/p>\n

No more bad news, it’s enough,
\nOur life here is already tough.
\nWe need good news, not the bad,
\nIt brings us down, makes us sad.<\/p>\n

But we can rise above it all,
\nIf we just give the Lord a call.
\nHe’ll comfort us in our despair,
\nFor Jesus knows our every hair.<\/p>\n

He will always work things out,
\nFor that’s what He is all about.
\nSo if you are about to bust,
\nTurn to the one you can trust.<\/p>\n

He will listen, won’t turn away,
\nGet on your knees, begin to pray.
\nBefore long His peace will come,
\nAnd your worries? They were dumb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
