As I was thinking about how we let our troubles sometimes fence us in and keep us from living our lives to the fullest, I saw this prayer on Facebook that said “God lift my eyes above my worries” and I remembered Psalm 121:1-2 “I lift up my eyes to the mountains — where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Our freedom comes from the Lord if we will just cast our cares on Him (1 Peter 5:7) and accept His help His way. This became the inspiration for the song.
