Weariness and Rest

 

This life is not an easy one,
More than a time or two
I’ve found myself wanting to quit
Rather than walk it through.
 
Yet, that gives credit to but half
Of all that this life brings.
For ever time I want to cry,
There’s two times my heart sings.
 
Today I’m weary to my core,
Both heart and mind are frayed.
While sanity may have been lost,
My sense of joy has stayed.
 
I’ll rest in You tonight, Oh Lord,
From this day’s harried pace,
And rise tomorrow, firm and strong,
Restored within Your grace.
 
1 Peter 5:10
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
