An anxious world seeks moments of happiness
instead of a life of joy.
An anxious world desires an understandable calm
instead of a peace that surpasses understanding.
An anxious world can’t wait for the next big thing
instead of patiently enduring the situation at hand
An anxious world wants to destroy those who disagree
instead of being kind to the ungrateful and wicked. (Luke 6:35)
An anxious world anticipates integrity to be corrupted
instead of goodness as our unblemished standard.
An anxious world searches everywhere for answers
instead of being true to the ones taught by the Master.
An anxious world believes might makes right
instead of a gentleness that brings righteousness.
An anxious world is chained in excess
instead of being free in disciplines
of prayer, charity and worship.
O anxious world!
Abandon what the world is selling.
Embrace what the Lord has given -
The Holy Spirit.
