This Leech Called Anxiety

I am learning something

I am learning to take my gaze away from my needs

Everyday, there’s a new need

Every day

Needs and Wants intertwined

Sometimes I can’t tell the difference 

I mistaken one for the other at times

Well recently,

 I became self-aware  

I realized that when I discover a need, 

All I can think about is the ways I can fill it up

I worry

Maybe in a subtle way, but yeah I worry

Over the littlest need

Would I be able to have this?

If I don’t, will it make life harder?

I wallow in the anxiety

My mind meditates on the lack 

But

I’m beginning to see it for what it is

Anxiety is a thief of joy

Anxiety is a thief of peace

I have to trust what Scripture says

Matthew 6:8

I am not the only one aware of my needs

My Father knows what I need before I ask Him

Or before I start worrying about it

I’m starting to understand what it means for Him to be Jireh

The provision may not come in a way I expect

But He is still Jireh

The provision may not come at the “right” time

But He is Jireh

The provision might not come at all

Still He remains Jireh
