Quiet Time With Him

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I often seek a quiet place

To ponder over things,

For, from peaceful contemplation,

Fresh understanding springs.

 

It is in solitude I hear

The still, small voice I seek,

And I can treasure in my heart

The thoughts I hear it speak.

 

I need to have that time alone

To spend just listening

For answers and, sometimes, questions

That time with Him can bring.

 

I’m not seeking eternal truths

Too vast to comprehend.

I’m looking for the small insights

I need at each day’s end.

 

The wisdom of a patient Lord,

The Shepherd’s guiding hand.

And peace that I can hold on to

When nothing goes as planned.

 

Sometimes the only thing I need 

Is just to feel Him near,

His words of comfort in my pain

Are what I hope to hear.

 

I need the time alone with Him

To listen and to pray,

And gather up the strength I need

To face another day.

 

Psalm 107:43

Let the one who is wise heed these things and ponder the loving deeds of the Lord.
