I make a budget

write down sources:

Coaching,

book sales,

rental payments

will come.

Groceries,

utilities,

mortgage payments

will go.

All computes well.

Income covers outflow.

 

I’m safe.

 

But what if

I get

sick

sued

flooded

broken

lost?

 

Emotions flutter in my chest.

Mind cannot compute.

 

It has no safety net

for the unexpected—

“the reality”—of life.

 

This is a perfect setup

by God.

Nowhere to rely

but on the unseen.

 

So I suspend my attention,

image the Beloved.

 

Quiet comes

peace in realizing

my eternal sustenance

the true Me.

 

No budget needed here

For this Power is
