But Of Peace

 

I needed something all day long,
But what, I couldn’t tell.
I felt it weighing down on me.
The day did not go well.
 
I stayed the course, did what I should,
And helped out here and there,
But I was walking on the edge
Of personal despair.
 
When I, at last, sat down to think
And lift a prayer or two
I realized what I’d needed
Was just some time with You.
 
I get so caught up in the world,
The things I do each day,
That I often forget to just
Be still, listen and pray.
 
I’m grateful that I have a chance
To help, to work, to love,
But I clearly need to make time
Outside life’s push and shove.
 
A little time to just be still
And rest within Your grace,
To let Your light wash out the noise
And Your peace take its place.
 
1 Corinthians 14:33a
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.
