Tune: Morning Hymn
('Awake my soul, and with the sun')
Matthew 6 v.25-34
*************
Forgive us, Lord, where we worry
And not by faith your good hand see
Help us to trust along each day
That you will provide, show the way
So may we not worry or fret
Tomorrow has not appeared yet
Worry not about food, drink, clothes
You all our every need do know
In anxious care 'tis as if so
There no God to help us below
On earth, or else 'tis that He cares
Not, nor in our needs He not shares
So we feel we must care for self
And prosper too our own soul's health
Forgetting birds, that God does feed
Our heavenly Father we not heed
And too we forget lilies there
One of which it does greater fare
Than Solomon in his glory
Each flower made by God it be
So He will care for us, provide
We can fully in Him confide
Tend to today's matter and when
Tomorrow comes, trust Him still then

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.8.8.8. metre. Number 1 in the series was posted some time ago. This gets to the heart of worrying, I feel. Poem based on some short study notes. I'm off to look at the birds and flowers then...… We need not go far - our own garden?

Thnaks for caring & sharing UNCLE STEVE - Angela here (9:30 pm Friday) no more work til Monday - AMEN
Love the HYMN (talking blues ?) and your excellent POEM !
Casting all your worry & care
On Jesus - cos He cares for YOU !
BRIAN and I have learned the hard way to replace all our WORRIES with complete TRUST in the LORD - AMEN. Just reading ANDY*S Poem has made us both realise how Blessed we are to be Commited Christians and be able to leave all our FUTURE in His Hands - *Thy Will be Done* When we look @ World Hunger & Poverty - we should always consider how GOD DAILY feeds Thousands more Plants & Animals ! God HAS & WILL provide for the Human Race 7.5 or 15 billion (by 2100) it is our Greed & Waste & poor Distribution that causes Famine we can never blame (as some do !) GOD - AMEN !
Love to YOU and your Cute Canine
Yours ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thanks B&A. To twist a quote: 'Fido is a peaceful dog; if anyone disagrees he will bite them - or at least bark fiercely at them!' lol.
Great message again Orchi
Give me the strength not to worry
But give me the patience to care
For if I did not have to worry
Then maybe I'd have all me hair
Sorry can't help myself
Blessings Orchi
You gone bald then?! Thanks Andrew. lol.
Hi Orchidee,
Thanks for this good write.
Very uplifting.
Yes we should trust in the Lord more!
It takes a lot of strength and courage at times to do so.
Keep writing FineB
Thanks Fine. I saw a piece on 'fear of flying'. The chances were 11 million to one that something will go wrong. But it said that our brain can think: 'But still, what if..... it all goes wrong'. And so we worry, etc.
Is that you Brian in the clip? I found out Angela in one clip - you told me it was you!
May you walk in step with your creator.
Thanks Suresh.
