Anxiety's Futility

Anxiety’s Futility

All seek a life; abiding in peace and tranquility;
a feat almost impossible to achieve;
consistently assaulted by anxiety’s futility;
with difficulty, we strive to believe.

The Master is waiting to hear our prayer;
our petty problems leave him undaunted;
still; he assures us that He’s always there;
tho we often make Him feel unwanted.

Anxiety is the state of our will; fearing failure;
peace is the eye of the storm;
though the promises of faith, offer allure;
anxiety overrides our will to reform.

We think we are strong; and can change;
of our bodies; we think we’re in charge;
like a dog; scratching; with the mange;
we’re each an apostate, prodigal at large.

We’ve ignored logic; becoming fools;
we’re lost souls, wandering in limbo;
unwilling to believe in the One who rules;
throwing all our logic out the window.

But the power of belief isn’t really logical;
it’s only God’s will; that we conceive;
not freely given to an unrepentant prodigal;
anxiety is futile; when we believe.

Faith is the answer to all of life’s questions;
anxiety fades; when God’s truth, we see;
Faith is God’s gift; not his suggestions;
showing us the truth, to set us free.
