From My Heart
Louise Gibson
All the water in the world,
however hard it tried,
could never sink a ship
unless it got inside.
All the hardships of this world
might wear you pretty thin-
But they won’t hurt you one least bit
unless you let them in.

Lord, why did it take so long
to reach this plateau-
to savor the moment I am in?
An acceptance of things I cannot change
has wondrously eased my chagrin.
The “serenity prayer” holds such wisdom-
Simply apply it to your heart.
God has not promised skies always blue,
But from our heart He will never depart.
There is no use in carrying around “worry and regret”.
They only weigh you down.
Always keep yourself open to hope and to love.
A smile will replace a frown
Make these words your battle cry
as you take on the Giant of Worry.
Louise Gibson
“Don’t dwell on tomorrow’s stress
Jesus told us that “tomorrow will take
care of itself.” (Mathew 6:24)
“Look inside, be kind to yourself”
Psalm 63:3 “Thy loving kindness is better than life.”
” The night doesn’t last forever,
and tomorrow will surely come.”
“Worry about nothing-
Pray about everything”
“When God pushes you to the edge,
trust Him fully, because only two things can happen.
Either He will catch you when you fall,
or He will teach you how to fly”.

Even when I know worry won’t change anything, I still find myself falling into it. Your poem is a much needed prod.

Worry and Concern are so closely related, we sometimes confuse the two. I am certain your concern is just related to a loving and caring heart, Alta. God bless you, dear one.
