Cleaning Out!

[barb754]

Last Week I threw out Worrying,
it was getting old and in the way.
It kept me from being me;
I couldn't do things my way.

I threw out those Inhibitions;
they were just crowding me out.
Made room for my New Growth,
got rid of my old dreams and doubts.

I threw out a book on MY PAST
(didn't have time to read it anyway).
Replaced it with New Goals,
started reading it today.

I threw out childhood toys
(remember how I treasured them so)?
Got me a NEW PHILOSOPHY too,
threw out the one from long ago.

Bought in some new books too,
called I CAN, I WILL, and I MUST.
Threw out I might, I think and I ought.
WOW, You should've seen the dust.

I ran across an OLD FRIEND,
haven't seen him in a while.
I believe his name is GOD,
Yes, I really like His style.

He helped me to do some cleaning
and added some thing's Himself.
Like PRAYER, HOPE and FAITH,
Yes I placed them right on the shelf.

I picked up this special thing
and placed it at the front door.
I FOUND IT - its called PEACE.
Nothing gets me down anymore.

Yes, I've got my house looking nice.
Looks good around the place.
For things like Worry and Trouble
there just isn't any place.

Its good to do a little house cleaning,
get rid of the old things on the shelf.
It sure makes things brighter;
maybe you should TRY IT YOURSELF.

Erm, yes and I love it - but how? how do you try it yourself? where do you start?

I would probaly start by just looking around at areas you worry and are troubled, areas where you say I must, I should and I ought and replace them with I can, I will, and I must. I get the feeling for symbolism here of eplacing our thoughts with more of those that come from God because we are his children. for that.

*note if youre being sarcastic I have a horrible way of reading that and can't so if you are please ignore what you have read.

I agree with what mikef14020 said.
When you believe in the Lord and ask for his help, he will guide you through all your trial areas.
