uncertainty disorientation a gray shadow blankets the light confusion an opaque spirit descends in my mind and tries to dislodge hope from my soul it nearly succeeds
turn to the left turn to the right turn around move stay still speak remain silent try surrender everything matters and nothing does i can’t focus on the next step what kind of morning is this what kind of dawn haunts me
i think i’ll wait i choose to listen my Maker is near and He whispers through the diffused shadows of my fear He sings through the longing in my tears and in this moment nothing has changed the struggle remains so i yield to this moment and trust in His mysterious love
what if today
you stopped
and decided
to be
and not just
to do
stillness
instead of the illness
of this
or that
can you be with yourself
can you open your heart
to the presence
of He who made all of the stars
and thought of you
before your first cry
before the first time
you opened your eyes
just close your eyes
breathe
He knows your name
breathe
He loves you
just be
take time
to remind
your mind
that you
are
loved
you
are
His
just
be
say goodbye
and set aside
the troubles
that are storming inside
at days end
now it's all
a remember when
so feel the sads
the mads
the glads
but more than these
give thanks and see
the treasures
the pleasures
that were yours
remember
the sum of them all
is the story of you
the unrepeatable you
a treasure
created by your Maker
who paints the sky
a masterpiece
be at peace
you
unrepeatable
you
be
at
peace
and have
a
nook night

it’s the beauty and simplicity
that we often miss
the radiance and light
that we just don’t see
the comfort and the healing
that we lay aside
oh let us rest
let us be still
for the greatest of these is love
the greatest of these is love
it’s the glory and presence
that we often ignore
a sunrise
a bird song
a baby’s laughter
the colors of all the leaves
as they fall
grace is always in season
oh let us rest
let us be still
for the greatest of these is love
the greatest of these is love
it’s the bitterness
and anger and rage
that can lead us
to waste our pain
we pursue justice
at the expense of our souls
and become that which
we loath
oh let us rest
let us be still
for the greatest of these is love
the greatest of these is love
God our world is in trouble
but greater still
is my troubled soul
my anxious thoughts
God i need you
to settle this restless heart
help me to see
beauty simplicity
your presence your glory
right here
to laugh like a child
and to sing
your praise
and your renown
with the colors
and the seasons
oh let us rest
let us be still
for the greatest of these is love
the greatest of these is love
stillness
reflection
quiet
contemplation
listen
He is here
presence
surrender
holy
encounter
He is here
searching
heart open
hope filled
and broken
He is here
rest now
oh my soul
let grace fill
the questions
the doubts
have no fear
His love is here
He is here
