Sometimes
life is a mess.
Maybe a mess
of our own making,
maybe a mess
of somebody else’s making.
But there’s no denying one thing –
it’s a mess!
I look at it
and think to myself,
“Where do I even begin
to start?”
Words of Imelda
spring to mind –
“Ask God to sort it out
and then leave Him
to get on with it!”
So that’s what I intend to do.
No fretting, no worrying,
no dwelling-on it,
no “what-if’s”.
I place this mess
in the hands of God
in faith and in love.
I have confidence in God
and I’ll do the few wee
bits and pieces
that I can
Then I’ll let God get on
with sorting this mess out.
