“The Stress Reliever: Lord’s Holy Glove”

When push comes to shove,

All I need to find my Lord’s holy glove.

When stress builds to the point of boiling

From slaving, begging, borrowing and toiling.

~

Trying to make my life easier than the day before;

Only to find people out there only want more.

So, it’s impossible to try to rest and simply somehow relax.

When even simple tasks like opening mail, can say, I owe IRS tax!

~

Stress what a thing to carry in one’s beautiful God-given life,

With the hardship, chaos, and all the unmistakable strife.

Have to find my gift, my holy glove;

It was, graced to me, from my God above.

~

It holds my key to unlocking my stressed filled day.

To which I pray with it on at the end of every darn day.

I ask the Lord my God to relieve my stress.

For my workday, which was such a mess,

~

As I felt the burden lift from my shoulders.

It was as if I threw away big, heavy boulders.

Peace and tranquility, I finally felt deep down inside

Knowing I have my Lord God by my side.

~

Now to rest my tired body and weary soul,

Only to start tomorrow with a brand-new goal.

Thank you, God, for getting me through

Tomorrow’s sunrise will be brand new.
