Escape From Your Problems

1. Escape from your problems most every day

when you are at home or while you’re away.

Go to your car, and then DRIVE around

into the city or a cozy town.

If it is a small town, relax with great ease

and let the surroundings refresh you with peace.

2. Notice how people don’t hurry about. 

They try not to worry, to quarrel or shout.

When passing by HOUSES on your pleasant ride,

image what people are doing inside.

3. If you can see smoke rise from chimneys above,

visualize MEALS being prepared with love.

When choosing an alternate city instead,

enjoy the attractions to which you are led,

like colorful restaurants with tasty cuisines,

theaters, plays, and intriguing museums.

4. These are some things that can help us escape

from all of our problems when they escalate.

Pastimes like these bring expedient RELEASE

from worries, ensuring that they quickly cease.

5. If you cannot travel, I think you will find

that you can seek refuges within your MIND.

At times they are even more beautiful there

and only require you become aware.

So try to escape from your worries each day,

and you will be freed in a wonderful way!

“Whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable,

if anything is excellent or praiseworthy,

think about such things.”

Philippians 4:8
