Blessed With Rest

You wrapped me in Your peaceful joy,
I felt it settle in.
I didn’t know I needed it,
Til I felt it begin.
 
A little knot loosened inside,
My breath began to slow,
And in that stillness I could feel
Your peace begin to grow.
 
Life is so busy these days, Lord,
And I am not as strong
As I was in my younger days
When I just rolled along.
 
Though, in my pride I won’t admit
That I’m feeling worn out,
I’m grateful You don’t heed my pride.
You know what I’m about.  
 
Tomorrow, things pick up again,
But, for a day or two,
I’ve had the chance to simply rest
And feel my strength renew.
 
In all the years I’ve walked this earth
I’ve never doubted You.
Though I doubt myself every day,
You always see me through.
 
Psalm 37:25 
I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.
 
Romans 8:28 
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
