NO SHRINK! <\/p>\n

You say that you need your shrink,
\nBecause he really helps you think,
\nHe will pull you up when you sink,
\nAnd save you from insanity\u2019s brink.<\/p>\n

However if you truly know the Lord,
\nAnd in your heart His Word is stored,
\nTo your faith you should be moored,
\nNot to a doc you can barely afford.<\/p>\n

The Lord will give you peace of mind,
\nAnd free you from stress of every kind,
\nIn the Bible His answers you will find,
\nNot from a shrink who robs you blind.<\/p>\n

So someday if you are lost in a daze,
\nPlease don\u2019t just turn to worldly ways,
\nListen first to what your Father says,
\nFor He will bless the one who prays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
