A Stressful Day

 

This day tore at me more than once,
But I held on to You,
And by the end, though there were tears,
You helped me to walk through.
 
There were more than a few kind folks
Who helped along the way,
And one or two who’s cheerful words
Brought laughter to the day.
 
I dreaded what this day would hold,
But miscalculated,
For I failed to account for those
Who brought me joy instead.
 
Tonight, as I sat down at last,
I realized once more
Though I may worry, Your plans hold
Blessings, then more, in store.  
 
Though life is stressful, there is joy
Present along the way.
Thank You for guarding me and for
Your patient grace each day.
 
Exodus 33:14
And he said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
 
Psalm 42:11
Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.
