Powerless

In June of this year, my world collapsed when I lost my job. That loss sent me into a tailspin of depression, and I stopped writing altogether. I had no interest in anything beyond simply getting through the day.

My wife encouraged me to start writing again as a way to release my feelings. Writing had always been a way for me to express myself and share inspiration with others.

Some time ago, I prepared a lesson on the topic of being powerless for Celebrate Recovery (CR). My wife and I volunteer as leaders for CR at our church, and I had been asked to present. During the process of writing and preparing that lesson, I broke down. It was then that I fully understood how powerless I truly was—and how much more I needed God in my life.

Out of that experience came the following poem:

LET ME WORRY NO MORE…

I call out to you,

lift my Spirit,

strengthen my Heart,

ease my Mind,

remind me, you are always there,

let me no longer be powerless,

let me worry no more,

I serve a Risen God,

He is always there,

He keeps me Strong, 

I only need to ask and have faith,

He will guide me,

Love me,

and Forgive me when I fall,

Let me worry no more,

I'm no longer Powerless,

I have God and he has Me,

Let me worry no more... ©Brad Denson 2025

We are not meant to do life on our own. In our powerlessness, God is our strength. Call out to Him—He is always listening.
