Don’t you want to be done with worry?
So it never comes back?
Don’t you want to shelve it away for good
And never see life’s lack?

Don’t you want to never answer…
Worry’s urgent pleas?
Don’t you want to ignore its thoughts
And rather be set free?

Don’t you want to say
Dear Jesus, I will always trust you?
Don’t you want this one prayer to last forever?
For your whole life too?

Aye, I would want that!
I would truly rejoice!
If worry was non-existent, I could just hear God’s voice!

But as I write this now,
I am aware of this one fact,
No matter how hard you try,
Worry always come back!

Why does worry come back?
I hear you ask today…
Because worry is a lying spirit,
He wants the final say!

So what’s the solution?
To become the
Worst worrier of all?
Where you say with real joy
I can’t worry at all?

Imagine if you never worried!
You knew God was fully in control!
Well, guess what, my special friend?
Worry is not God’s will at all!

Worry Is Forbidden
W.I.F. is from God’s Word
Faith makes life easier
When you live like the birds.

Change worry
To a spirit
And then you will see
That worry is not just a word!
But demonic activity!

Knock, knock, I hear a sound!
I open up the door
I see worry standing there
He has stung me before!

Worry speaks now
His sting is in my mind
He addresses my thinking
He is not heaven’s design!
I am man’s temptation!
I’m bait of a hidden kind
I make human souls disbelieve God
But all inside their mind!

You won’t see me visibly
When I tempt the souls on earth!
I am the dark side and God’s enemy
I cause fear, pain and hurt!

In the moments when you forget God,
I make you spiritually sick!
My temptation called worry, causes unbelief real quick!

I break “you” down bit by bit,
I make sure your worry is justified!
Then once my mind hook has reeled you in, I create new chains inside!

The root of worry comes from me,
I am not God’s voice at all
I belong to Satan’s army
I sting and then you fall!

I know you are a Christian,
You are different!
Redeemed and set apart!
You are God’s holy treasure
You have Jesus in your heart!

My sting works best on hard days!
My sting weakens your mind
My subtle plan of unbelief
Was never God’s design.

If you saw me hiding there
You would never take my bait!
But you often forget I’m watching you
And then faith comes back too late!

In the name of Jesus, depart!
You revealed yourself to me!
Now as I write this poem today,
Faith comes flooding back to me!
When worry comes knocking today
Don’t justify Satan’s choice
Don’t feed him more and more!
But learn to know God’s voice!
Learn to say, worry, flee! You are an evil kind
Your worry is never justified
You are never God’s design!

Wow… this hit home. I still struggle with worry, but I’m learning to trust God more each day. This reminder to recognize worry as a lie and lean on God’s voice instead is exactly what I needed as I’m sure many out here also needed it. 🙏
