Stuck

I feel stuck in a frustrating situation right now.  Like, I am really getting worked up over it!  And I don't want to be so bothered, but I can't stop it from bothering me, and that is very .... bothersome, for lack of a better word.  I'm awake when I should be sleeping, though not for this reason alone.  Still, it's taking up space in my head and I'm trying to find the right way to proceed.  And the thought occurs to me to yield (thank you, Beth Moore and your James bible study).  To let go of my grip on this issue.  To let go.  And then the line from an old song comes to mind, "I will hold loosely to things that are fleeeeeeeeting..."  I feel like this stupid thing that is bothering me is not worth the bother.  So I will just yield.   Anyway, the lyrics to that song that is now stuck in my head...

Hold on the Jesus by Steven Curtis Chapman

I have come to this ocean
And the waves of fear are starting to grow
The doubts and questions are rising with the tide
So I'm clinging to the one sure thing I know

I will hold on to the hand of my Savior
And I will hold on with all my might
I will hold loosely to things that are fleeting
And hold on to Jesus
I will hold on to Jesus for life

I've tried to hold many treasures
They just keep slipping through my fingers like sand
But there's one treasure that means more than breath itself
So I'm clinging to it with everything I am

Like a child holding on to a promise
I will cling to His word and believe
As I press on to take hold of that
for which Christ Jesus took hold of me

Hold on for life
