Lay Down Your Worry

Lay Down Your Worry

When worry gathers like a storm,
And shadows press the heart,
When every thought feels torn and worn,
And peace seems far apart—

God whispers through the rising wind,
“Be still, I’m always near.”
No fear too small, no soul too thinned,
Escapes His watchful care.

He holds the weight we cannot bear,
With hands both strong and kind,
And lifts the burdens we declare
Too heavy for our mind.

Like morning light breaks through the night,
His promises remain—
A quiet strength, a steady sight,
A shelter in the rain.

So when anxious thoughts arise,
And hope feels out of view,
Remember God is ever wise,
And He is carrying you.

Lay down your worry, and be still,
Trust not in what you see—
For God is working through His will,
To set your spirit free.
