Locked and Blocked

I called technical support because my account was locked;
And when they checked it out they said it was blocked!
"What's going on?" I asked the woman on the phone, upset--
"Have I been fired? Can you tell me? I don't get it..."

When I hung up the phone panic attacked my soul--
I didn't understand why they would want to let me go:
Unfounded fear swept over me with a wave of worry--
What-am-I-going-to-do?  I-better-get-a-job-in-a-hurry

"Dear Lord, please hear me I need Your help right now--"
Right then my phone rang again and I answered "Hello?"
It was the woman from tech support and she had good news:
"You're not fired or anything like that...

"...the system was just confused--"

"Praise the Lord!" I exclaimed and hung up the phone with a shout
Why was I so panicked and afraid?
What was I so worried about?
