Poem

Dealing with Stress

You wanted to rest, but you have so many things to do
You wanted to have a break
But you are too bombarded with so many thoughts in your mind

You wanted to experience peace
But it seems like you can never really find it
And as you continue to work and deal with so much pressure in life
You find yourself very tired
of the things that are happening all around you

In short,
You are so stressed
You want to go to a place where you can rest
You want to pause for a while
And stop thinking about your problems

You want to leave all your responsibilities
And be in a peaceful place where…
you are free to do the things that you want
You no longer feel the passion that you once had
The vision you once embraced begun to slowly fade away

You feel so restless
I know that you feel so empty inside,
But put this in your heart and mind
You are not alone
God is with you in this season

You may not understand what’s happening around you
You may lose hope and wanted to stop
But always remember the reason why you started it in the first place

Maybe you are just so occupied with so many things
That you tend to forget the purpose why you said yes in the first place
But you need to go back to your big why
And only then you will know what to do
Whether to give it up or continue

It’s okay to take some rest
It’s okay to pause for a while
But sometimes it’s also okay to stretch yourself
So that you will grow personally and emotionally

Allow yourself to go through some struggles and difficulties
And only then you will be able to learn new things
Things that will help you face your future

And if you are tired,
you can rest in the arms of the Father
Just talk to Him
And tell Him what you feel inside

He is always listening to you
God will help you through
You just have to open your heart and your mind
For the things that God wants you to learn

You are His brave warrior
And you can do it because
God will be your strength
