And get perspective fresh and new
You cannot see when it's stacked up,
And you might miss a blessing too
Take time to watch what makes you laugh
Put on some music for your soul
Talk with close friends who hear your heart,
For they will help relieve the toll
Take time alone--but not to fret
Drive to the beach and watch the waves
Lean on the wisdom you have gleaned
Commission prayer warriors and braves
Authentic hugs can boost one's spirits
And even snacks can help one rally
Don't fall lost captive to the "musts"
Life's worth much more than just a tally
God's got a promise for your quagmire
And a solution for your mess
Stop looking where the pit is deeper,
For that will lead to more distress
At Jesus' feet, a drop-off station
For all your cares and trials lies
When it's too heavy, give Him leeway
Then, in His strength, you will arise
