No Job? Unpaid Bills?  Try Jesus!

Here I sit, uncertain of what lies ahead.

I’m still wondering how my family will be fed.

I once had a job that provided a sense of “security.”

Now I don’t…  And I have a lot of uncertainty!

I have unpaid bills, and I’m not sure what to do.

I’ve asked for help.  But not sure who to turn to!

I get discouraged, and feel life “pulling me down.”

I’ve tried just about every job that’s in town.

The dreams I had, have been shattered and smashed.

At times, I feel like I’m just “a piece of trash.”

My wife tried to support me, the best that she can.

But she doesn’t know me…  Or even understands!

Dear Jesus…  You’re the only left that I haven’t tried.

There’s been many nights I laid awake and cried!

I read in the Bible, where your love for me is real!

When I call on your name...  There’s a love I can feel!

Whatever happens, please help me Lord, to trust you!

Whatever tomorrow holds, may I still love you!

I know that you’re a foundation, that I can stand on!

Jesus is a friend!  That I can always depend on!

Jesus, if I lose everything I have or that I hold on to...

My I always remember your faithfulness

 and never forget you!

Here I stand… With my burdens lifted from me!

It’s because of Jesus!  And how much he loves me!

I praise HIS name!  And lift my hands to the sky!

He’s in control now!  I don’t have to ask the reason why!

Jesus…  Please take control of my worries and desires!

Above all of my problems, I lift your name up higher!
