"Martha, Martha,” the LORD answered, “you are worried and anxious about many things.” Luke 10:41
It was January. I don’t think I had seen the sun in two weeks. The white noise of the rain had become normal. I could feel sadness suffocating me like slowly poured tar wrapping itself over my breathing ports. When I worry, it doesn’t come to the surface in overt ways. I tend to disconnect myself. I was worried about many things. I stopped talking to humans. I felt alone. Even when I did escape my self inflicted bubble and interact; I still felt a void of emptiness.
The only refuge for me was God. I didn’t really have much to say. A random, “Hey Dad” would half heartedly ooze from my droopy lips. I was in a boring lull when suddenly an old chorus popped in my head. I had written it months ago. It was quietly filed between hundreds of other ideas. "Don't even worry. Don't even side with those lies." I kept humming it for a few days. It got stuck in my head real good; a chronic ear-worm. Is that you sub-conscience? As I drove alone in my car, humming the tune, I started to sense the presence of God.
It was like getting a whiff of momma’s cooking after many meals deprived. It dawned on me. God was singing these words to me. I retreated home, tucked away with my guitar and the rest of the song just flowed. It was an odd, wonderful thing. I was the one writing and yet I felt more like a scribe than an author. God finally got through to me and it was via song. Picture a loving Dad trying eighteen different ways to get his teenage daughter’s attention. She hasn’t been listening and nothing has been getting through. And finally, the persistence pays off. On the nineteenth try, he gets her attention. What a kind-hearted Dad. Did you know God is a sweetheart?

Chorus
Don't even worry
Don't even side with those lies
Don't even worry
You're waiting for peace
To pass the time
Verse 1
Are you prison to your thoughts?
Are you seeing worst case scenarios?
Are you tired of being tossed?
Are you weary? Come, oh come to me.
Verse 2
You are always on my mind
You are always cared for and your needs
You are loved beyond all border lines
I am everything, oh, everything you need
Bridge
All risen seas
And fighting wars
All the mysteries
Fall at my Word
Fall at my Word
All flaming darts
And weapons formed
All the armories
Fall at my Word
Fall at my Word
Ending
Any circumstance I'm in
Doesn't matter what it is
Doesn't phase You, phase You
