Let go...and Let God

Let go and let God..
What a wonderful saying to live by.
I even have it framed at home.
But easier said..I know..I've tried!

I go through this world each day.
Same as each of you do.
Troubles and heartaches all around.
Same old stuff, often something new.

I will pace and I will fret.
I will figure out something, I'm sure.
Smoke another cigarette.
See how much I can endure.

Maybe I will call up some friends.
Surely they will know what to do?
Each one offers a good solution.
But they all say the same thing..nothing new.

Heck far, nothing is turning out right!
Where else can I go?
I've worked myself up in a frenzy now.
The answer is coming too slow!

Ok, God...maybe you can help me.
What else can I do?
I've worn myself out over this.
Now it's all up to You.

I kneel and pray, unloading this burden.
This feels like it might just work.
Take it all from me, Lord Jesus.
Before I go berserk!

I get up from my knees.
Not quite as heavy as before.
I will let go and let God.
My faith in you, Lord, forever and ever more.
