DON’T PRAY& WORRY, JUST LEAVE IT THERE!
Peace & Love Beautiful People!
Wishing you all wellness, peace and joy as you embark upon a new season, autumn. Usually, I write my own thoughts but this week I am focused on serving as a gentle reminder that God is in control and there is no need to pray and worry. As Reverend Cheryl Ward says, "Either God is or God ain't!" One translation of that is: Since God IS, why worry? As J. Moss sings, “God who holds the future, also rules this land and responsible for each breath we take, just pray and then leave it there.”
As we invite all of the blessings of our autumn season into our lives, I am guided to simply share the lyrics of an AMAZING song that I found myself in deep meditation with today. The song is entitled, “Don’t Pray & Worry by Gospel Singer, J. Moss. I had the pleasure of dancing for J. Moss & Ki Ki Sheard for B.E.T.’s 2008 ‘Celebration of Gospel’ under the Choreography & Artistic Direction of Brandon Lee Anderson. I am familiar with the song and play it often but it never hit me like this. I figured, since it inspired me to new heights today, I would share it with all of you.
Below, please find the song lyrics to J. Moss’s “Don’t Pray & Worry.” This c.d. was released in 2004 and can be found in stores everywhere and online. The c.d. is entitled, “The J. Moss Project.” (F.Y.I., J. Moss has a new c.d. out in stores entitled, “Just James”.) Just below the lyrics is a website where you can hear the song free, it takes a little while to load.
Lyrics to Don’t Pray & Worry :
[J moss laughing] Whew, come on let's keep it going
He knows all that's before you
He will never neglect His child
Nor will ignore tears in your eyes
Lay your cares to rest
[Chorus:]
The righteous won't be forsaken
Just hold to your faith
And His word will be manifested
Be steadfast and don't fear
Don't pray and worry
Why is it that we will spend time
going to church but don't understand why
Why we must pray
And then belive
Things that we pray for will soon be received
The prayers of the righteous availeth much
Be not weary in well doing
God of Heaven can do anything
Lay your cares to rest
For the righteous
[Chorus]
He who holds the future
Also rules this land
And responsible for each breath we take
Just pray and then leave it there
Pray and then leave it there
Maybe you've lost all hope
And can't see past tomorrow
Speak His word into your life
And stand on His promise to you
[Chorus x2]
So, as the song lyrics suggest, I invite you to “Just hold to your faith and God’s words will be manifested, be steadfast and don’t fear, don’t pray then worry.”

Remember, you are not alone. Reverend Creflo Dollar translated Hebrews 13:5 this way: “God said, I will not, I will not, I will not, to any degree, for any reason, leave you or forsake you, I will not take my hands off of you.” So, I encourage you to stand on those words. God is not a man that God would lie nor can God’s words come back void. I encourage you to trust the infallible words of God and as brilliant Author & Speaker John Randolph Price says, “Take Your Stand and Prove God Now!”
Wishing you a brilliant and brand new beginning in this fall season, may you fall in love with life in a new and joyful way. Don’t forget to cast your cares.
With Love & Gratitude,
Joy Liani Hallman
