Peace

The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want
He makes me to lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside the still waters
He restores my soul.

~from Psalm 23

Out of earth’s sorrows into Thy balm,
Out of life’s storms and into Thy calm,
Out of distress into jubilant psalm,
Jesus, I come to Thee.

~Jesus I come

..."And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
~Philippians 4:7

Something that has been on my mind lately is the subject of peace. Those of you who know me know I can get worried very easily. Well in the past couple of weeks I've been seeing some of the effects that has been having on my body and my spirit. I crave the ability to be at rest and at peace...
I feel like I've lost what spark I had. I feel stripped of my joy and my love for others. I am desperate to once again feel truly alive in Christ.

"My souls years for You in the night. My spirit within me earnestly seeks you."
~Isaiah 26:9
