Resting In His Peace

The troubles of this world are mine,

As they belong to all,
But when they come to seek me out
I do not fear their call.
 
For, though they weigh upon my mind
As they have always done,
I’ve learned to face them with more calm
By resting in the Son.
 
He knew the torments of this world
And faced much more than I,
So, if He bids me Trust in Him,
That trust I’ll not deny.
 
And I will face my own troubles
With His peace in my heart.
It may not hold my woes at bay,
But it’s the place to start.
 
John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
