My Restless Mind

My mind is scattered everywhere,

It’s always on the move.
Fluttering randomly, as if
It has something to prove.
 
I try to find a quiet place,
Hoping that it will land,
But I can’t get it to be still
Enough to simply stand.
 
Even as I lay down at night
To seek the peace of sleep
It’s always up, moving around
With worries it must keep.
 
Oh Lord, I think I’m losing it,
My mind just can’t be still.
Yet I hope, when I pray tonight,
To still it to Your will.
 
Exodus 14:14
The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.
