Come Closer to the Arms of God

If worry consumes you, deep in your heart—
yet, you resist prayers, and choose to stand apart—
take pause and consider what holds you back—
is it doubt, or the fear of what you lack?

For God is not distant, nor deaf to your cry,
He cares for your concerns he knows why,
these burdens you carry, that you cannot hold,
place them in His hands for his arms carry the world.

Your pain, grief, frustration—heavier than you can bear,
Give them to God, draw closer to his arms in prayer.
For prayer isn’t weakness, nor fleeting relief—
It’s trust in His strength, a release from your grief.

Why do you choose to bear the weight alone,
with faith, dear friend, God can bring you home.
If you’re concerned, yet your lips remain still,
let faith be the bridge, let prayer be your will.

Jesus saves—this truth we embrace,
Let your concerns bring you closer to grace.
Speak to God, he is waiting, with love he is there,
in His arms, find rest, in His presence, in prayer.
