Shalom, isn't it amazing how so many want peace but don't know the proper resource for it. And, ironically live in a manner that brings turmoil to their life and to others.
Whenever I am troubled
and lost in deep despair,
I bundle all my troubles up
and go to God in prayer,
I tell Him I am heartsick
and lost and lonely too,
That I am deeply burdened
and don't know what to do.
But I know He stilled the tempest
and calmed the angry sea,
And I humbly ask if in His love
He'll do the same for me.
Then I just keep quiet
and think on thoughts of peace,
And as I abide in stillness
my restless murmurings cease.
-- Helen Steiner Rice
