i need to hear (anxiety)
When the quiet comes and fails to calm, there are things I need to hear.
I need to hear everything is going to be okay.
And I know I heard you tell me yesterday, but tell me again that the way things are isn’t the way they’ll always be.
And I need to hear it’s love that casts out fear.
And I need to hear, “This is Christ’s body and this is Christ’s blood.”One was broken and One was poured, but both were for us.
And I need to hear about how grace is enough.
And I need to hear we are still friends,
and this is not the end.
And I need to hear this not forever.
And I need you to help me remember.
And I need to hear from you because this life is too short to not speak.
And this life is too hard to do alone week after week.
And this life is too much to go through without one another.
And this life is better when we hear from each other.
And I need to hear what you need to hear,
so when the silence gets loud and quiet fails to calm,
I can remind you everything is okay.
Everything is okay.
