In A Rush

I rushed from place to place all day,

Never once sitting still,
And in all of that hurried rush
I worked hard to fulfill
The goals that I had set myself…
While ignoring Your will.
 
Thus, as I came to this day’s end,
Feeling empty and chill,
I realized that I had failed,
Despite all of my skill,
To do the thing You’d asked of me…
Be with You, and be still.
 
So take me now, Lord, though I’m late,
And into me please spill
The peace that passes all I know,
And all I ever will,
That it might guard my heart and mind…
And teach me to be still.
 
Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
