Ever feel like you are just overwhelmed by so many problems; yours, your family’s and your friend’s? When we lose focus, we feel stressed all the more.

Is your mind in a fuddle?
As you try to muddle,
And you’re not just sure what to think?
Are your thoughts all distracted?
Have you overreacted?
To the last little thing thrown your way?

You have the right
To want to stand up and fight
But first be sure of your cause
Don’t load your weapon
And go off half stepping
Till your sure if the enemy’s there
Take a moment in prayer
God’s always there
And He’ll make it all come out right.

    We play the cards we are dealt. Sometimes we have a good hand, sometimes we don\’t but we have to play.
