Freed of the Shackles

God transforms us
freed of the shackles
worry, panic
that rule our lives
little demons
bad mental patterns
ways of responding
to outside stress

inner healing
life transforming
God upon us
healing brokenness
life affirming
steps growing
casting off
these long-held chains

minds freed
of the shackles
chains within my mind
at my feet
stepping over
the chains below me
safe within
God’s arms of love.
