If overthinking were a job, I bet I would be quite well-to-do

Money would come naturally as I overthink something new

Though in reality, it leaves me feeling drained and poor

Always worried, in a hurry, not trusting what God has in store

If overthinking solved problems, I would surely know it all

Instead, I run in circles, with my head against a wall

Knowing less than where I first began

Instead of trusting in His plan

If overthinking made me glamorous, surely, I would be divine

Instead, I feel exhausted, in my own state of mind

Accomplishing nothing but my own inner doubt

Forgetting that God, has it all figured out

Overthinking is a waste of time

Only burdening a worried mind

If overthinking had a name, I would call it skepticism

Beating my self up, with my own criticism

If I was honest with my own train of thought

I replaced doubt, where whom God I should have sought

If overthinking was replaced with God’s peace inside my soul

I would not have let my mind get too ahead, and let Him have control

If there is a lesson that I have learned, in which I hope you learn it too

Overthinking is wasted time, instead of trusting Lord, in you

Where overthinking used to play

I will choose instead to pray

Trusting that I have done my best

Giving God all the rest

If overthinking did not ever plague my mind

True peace with God, I would surely find

Wouldn’t that be grand if I just let go

Fully trust in His plan and to trust Him with my soul

Overthinking

Psalm 94:19 NKJV

In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comfort delights my soul.
