Feel a little discouraged, down or even overwhelmed? In my time of study and devotion I came across this poem by Helen Steiner Rice, may it bring you encouragement as it has done for me.
LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED
Whevever 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.
–Helen Steiner Rice
