I have
built
mountains
of worry,
one higher
than the next.
As soon as
something is
not foreseeable
or not easy
my
objection comes:
BUT ...
By now I
feel as if I would stand
in a deep
ravine
surrounded
by dark, high
mountains
without a path.
I do not
know the way any longer.
I can’t see
the way out.
With all
the worries
I cannot
think good thoughts any longer.
With all my
“BUT”s
I was
unwilling to try new things
and take
steps forward.
I believed
that I could
and had to
manage
everything
by myself
and I
totally forgot
that my
Creator wants to
lead and
guide me.
I forgot
that he will lead me
out of the
dark valleys
and has
promised me times
where I can
rest in a “green pasture“.
Once I arrived
in the valley
I did not
hold onto his hand.
Instead I
was angry
and threw
it to the side
and accused
him of
why he
allowed such a life
for me.
This way
I got lost
in my own valley
and with
all the darkness
and faintheartedness
I was not able to see
the way out any longer.
My Creator does not force me
to accept his guidance
and to trust him,
but I can see now
where my own rebellion lead me.
For years I only walked in a circle.
With all the “BUT”s
I could not recognize
the small exit
that often was full of stones.
And because I did not get my own way
I became more and more dissatisfied.
Worries grew into mountains
in front of me,
the anger grew
and the inner darkness
and hopelessness just multiplied.
All because I had lost track
of my Creator,
only focused on worldly matters,
and did not look upwards any longer.
O how could I be so dumb
and turn down his hand
in the essential times of my life!
Did he not instruct me
to cast my worries upon him
and trust him with my whole heart?
But I did just the opposite.
In good times I was too busy
and in bad times too angry
to really pay attention to him.
So now I do not need to be surprised
why my mountains of worry only grow
and threaten to burst in.

worry behind you
