Been so busy doing my day job
Worrying about how co-workers will respond
Resisting the urge to check email on my private time
It’s been hard to relax and unwind
And fast has gone the time

So fast that Sunday is hours away
And I have prepared nothing for God’s day
I should adhere to Matthew 6:33
Shouldn’t go into Sunday empty
Working for God is more important than working for me
After all, He makes my day job a possibility.

And once I made that shift
I could feel the anxiety lift
Lord, thanks for reminding me
To make your work a priority

2018
Another year the Lord has created
Let us rejoice and start celebrating
A fresh start the Lord has gave us

Some of us made resolutions to alter our ways
Some are looking forward to major change
Like a new job, car, school or house
Or even a spouse
Some want to try a new adventure or vacation in a new place
Others seek to reconcile with or visit a long, lost, face
Still others plan nothing special, will take it day by day

So, what will 2018 really bring?
Will it be the fulfillment of hopes and dreams?
Or tragedies unforeseen?
It is yet to be seen
But what is certain is God’s mercies
They will renew every morning

While the year is new, God is as He’s always been
We can keep on praying, thanking and praising Him
As the same merciful God will be listening
And no matter what 2018 brings
To our Lord will can still cling—for everything.

Scripture reference – Psalms 118

Everything is gone
Restoration? Don’t know where to start
Never imagined it being this hard

Down through the years
When there were pain and tears
God made wrong right, dark bright, sad glad
So, what now?

Keep praying, keep the faith (Luke 18:1)
The Lord will deliver, Jesus will make a way
Cause God is compassionate, God is great.
