Going Through a Layoff?

Going Through A Layoff???


 


Are you one who watches


the nightly news?


And hear of the many jobs


 people will lose?


 


Does this news bring to your life


much uncertainty?


Knowing that very soon…


This could be a reality?


 


Are you one who’s filled with fear


and apprehension?


Feeling the burden of stress


and a lot of tension?


 


Perhaps you feel very discouraged


and “distraught.”


Here’s a ”lesson” that needs


 to be taught!


 


Don’t allow yourself to worry about


 “how things are going.”


There’s a God in heaven that you


need to be knowing!


 


He knows all about your layoff


and every situation!


The love and peace he gives needs


 no explanation!


 


Everything that you need... 


Jesus does provide!


Worry?  Or Trust HIM? 


That’s for you to decide!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
