Guilt Free Blessings

I asked the Lord for x amount
And He gave x, y, and z
He went over the top and blessed abundantly
Beyond my imagination or need

Yet, sometimes I feel this I should not receive
As my behavior has not lived up to heavenly
My mind drifts back to remember when I did this or that
Yet my sins the Lord forgave and remembers not (Isaiah 43:35)

Besides God like to give good gifts just for the asking (Matthew 7:12)
And He’s removed the sin as far as east coast from west
So, I should forgive myself
And enjoy guilt free all blessings I get.

Worrying

After the heated exchange
I worried if a positive relationship would remain
During the weekend, did no fun things
Just spent time worrying

Never mind Jesus said don’t worry (Matthew 6:34)
Didn’t think about how the Lord would fight for me
And that I should hold my peace (Exodus 14:14)
I just built anxiety on what happens Monday morning

So, Monday comes and before I confronted the situation
To my surprise it confronts me
With nothing but being warm and friendly
What a waste of time I spent with worries

Lesson learned, don’t just hear the word of God
Live it in your heart
Trust that you can cast your burdens upon Him (Psalm 55:22)
So, no need to spend time worrying
Thank you Lord for reminding me
About wasting time with needless worrying.

God’s Work or My Work

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
