I would love to be a friend to someone who said to me, “Helen, you are the worst worrier in the world! You are really bad at worrying!” 😉

I am a Christian poet.

Lately I have been writing poems about worry. I will be posting them soon. They will encourage you.

The poems are a reminder to stop worrying and trust God.

What crossed my mind today after reading my draft poem?

This thought….

We often justify worry and think we must worry!

We treat worry like a friend, we nurture it, feed it and allow it to grow. It is almost like we protect worry in blankets of justification.

We say, “If I don’t worry about this, I am not normal. Any logical thinking being must worry!”

Good news dear believer in Christ!

You are not normal.

You are not logical.

Children of God do not function within the confines of earth. We live on an entirely different planet! So yes, you can face difficulties differently as you learn to unwrap worry real fast!

Meaning….no longer justifying worry’s choice by keeping IT warm and fed. Worry gets bigger when you feed it more. A Christian needs to starve worry to death. We need to unwrap it, expose it to the cold and fling it off into the distance, never to be seen again.

This sort of flinging, is divine. God gives you and I full permission to cast worry away, for good.

Many people treat worry gently, they don’t fight worry and they invite worry in unknowingly.

It’s very interesting that I had three “worry not” poems written in draft format and they were all sitting back stage, waiting to be published. Then my hubby lost his job! Suddenly! No warning. Then I remembered my three poems I had started writing, even before this happened! This topic was exactly what I needed. Thanks to everyone who prayed for us. Great news…My husband did find a new job, praise God!

God’s message to me was very simple – “Worry is forbidden! You are not allowed to worry.”

In this realisation, I was very encouraged. I knew God was teaching me to have zero tolerance to worry and I had to stop worrying for good.

The good news?

As you are reading this now, I see you nodding! You are unwrapping your worry, you are no longer protecting it and you are exposing the real enemy behind this!

Satan!

My new poem is my gift to you. I pray that it will change your life forever!

Please keep an eye out for it! It will be published shortly via this blog.

In the meantime, if you scroll down, the “Godly Indignation” post will come up immediately. This cracking-the-crack concept, will help you to stop being passive-in-battle.
