Where do we turn?
Who and where can we put our trust?
Constantly changing
People come and go
Jobs lost and money can’t be found
Where to the answers come?
At times we feel like a feather
being tossed in the wind
No direction or purpose
We seem to be on a
merry - go – round
It’s time to get off!
No more running
in circles without hope
We breathe deeply and
for a few minutes
rest in our searching hearts
We haven’t been
there for awhile
and it’s uncomfortable
Being in the silence
has its own sound
of fear and anxiety
We say softly
all will be well
I am at home with my soul
At first the words
mean very little but
as we say them slowly they sink in
During the journey
to the soul
we may feel like yelling
We may feel pain we
never knew we had
We yell,” Why!”
We may do this
many times until
we can yell no more
Now we surrender to our soul
Lying in the gentle hands
of love and tranquility
We have found our answers
Our purpose is to love and be loved
The eternal light of Jesus will never leave
We have found our peace
We now know the truth
within the wisdom and light of our soul

of fear and anxiety
This is so true. It reminds me that sometimes God remains silent... sometimes it seems like His answer will never come. Then, in the midst of this silence, uncertainty sneaks in. I don't know about you, but fear and anxiety, added together with uncertainty can be excruciating.
I have learned (the hard way) that God's moments of silence are usually when I learn the most, because these moments force me to seek Him more diligently than before.
Thank you for this. It touched me.
