Don't Get Caught Up On The Whys

When doubts invade as an unwelcomed prancer;
questions eat at you like a growing cancer.
You don't understand and long for an answer.
Don't get caught up on the whys.

For this calamity you had to make room.
Somber clouds on your horizon now loom.
You long for joy, but you wrestle with gloom.
Don't get caught up on the whys.

You may feel you're at the end of your rope.
You're struggling to function, go forward or cope.
There's a key to not giving up all hope.
Don't get caught up on the whys.

If you love God, all things work together for good
though you may not see now how they possibly could.
The Lord knows best, be it understood.
Don't get caught up on the whys.

When despair and depression seem to be pally,
the passageways of your mind you must rally.
Start praising your way out of this lonely valley.
Don't get caught up on the whys.

Life is not always fair, this is true.
Your tranquil essence can turn suddenly askew,
but you can be a victor. Determine that you
don't get caught up on the whys.

Proverbs 3:5,6 – "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

I Peter 1:6 – "Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:"

Romans 8:28 -" And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
