When worry starts to flood,
like a windblown heavy rain
when you’re dispirited
by anxieties constant strain.
Turn to the Good News,
and as you begin to pray . . .
You will feel God releasing
His peace straight away.
When trouble begins to blow,
like a howling nor’easter
when you’re feeling downcast
in need of a warm comforter.
Turn at once to the Lord,
rush into His loving arms
knowing they’ll protect you
from everything that harms.
When grief overcomes,
like a crashing tidal wave
when you’re disheartened
drowning in a teary grave.
Turn to the Scriptures,
no matter what the hour
and with each tearful drop
let God, unleash His power!

2 Timothy 1:7
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
