I crouched down trying to hide from the pain
Then I read something that really changed the game
“Believers should honor God more than they fear death, or than they worry about things like food and clothes. Christians are to remain ready for Christ's return...” ( Luke 12:49. BibleRef.com. (n.d.). )
I ain't gonna lie, I felt a little ashamed
Staying up way past midnight because my worrying is center-stage
Too busy trying to chase success
Pleasing other people put me in this mess
Just praying in the morning won’t pass this test
Why are you asking me about earthly things, when what you should want is only me?
Now this one was deep, on the trajectory to fix my relationship between God and me.
This is when I am the sheep and the Lord is my Sheppard, thank you for guiding me.

Heartfelt and relatable
The story invoked strong personal emotions
The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

If only we could control how others feel about us, and force them to our will. So we really should turn to whatever we believe in and ourselves. truth.
