Causing My Own Distractions

 

Oh Lord, help me to look beyond
My frustrations each day.
I tend to let them get so big
That they get in my way.
 
It doesn't matter if it’s small,
Because I let it grow
Until it takes up all my time
With nothing left to show.
 
It’s worrying about the things
That I can never change
Or how to make the pieces fit
That aren’t mine to arrange.
 
Please help me look beyond such things
And set my gaze on You.
Though we each struggle in this life,
You always lead us through.
 
There’s no need to let distractions
Make the path harder still
When I can place my trust in You
And walk into Your will.
 
Oh, Lord, You are the path I seek,
The stillness that I need
To let go of the distractions.
I pray You’ll intercede.
 
Psalm 119:37
Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.
