Rest (Pt 2)

My Spirit is longing 

My soul seems downcast

My eyes searching for distractions 

And my body is tired.

---

I sense I need Rest 

But I don’t seem to get them in my sleep 

And when I wake up

There seems to be always something to do.

---

Mentally fatigued 

My routines seems to have given up on me 

Physically distressed 

Nowhere is good enough for me to rest.

---

While I was struggling to figure this out 

And had seemingly come to the end of myself

You called me to rest in your presence 

I sought for rest everywhere else 

But I only found it in Your Word.

“Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you, Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. [Ps. 55:22.]”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭AMPC‬‬
