A Soul In Need

I stand before You, once again,
My soul, feeling adrift.
Though I know You are by my side,
It’s as if there’s a rift.
 
I struggled with my day today.
Knowing I often fail
At being who I’m meant to be,
I stressed to no avail.
 
I offered grace and spoke kindly
To those along the way,
But I felt wave on wave roll in
Of worry and dismay.
 
I lifted up Your name in praise,
Gathered to worship You,
And then I went about my day
While grief filled waves swept through.
 
I need to sit with You a while,
We both know that I do.
A weary body heals with rest,
A soul needs time with You.
 
Jeremiah 31:25
For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.
