Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled

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 my mind is deeply burdened
and I 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...
And then I just keep quiet
and think only thoughts of peace
And if I abide in stillness
my "restless murmurings" cease.

"LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED:
YE BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME."

"PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU,
MY PEACE I GIVE UNTO YOU:
LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED,
NEITHER LET IT BE AFRAID."

JOHN 14:1, 27
