Sounds,

Mind,

Distractions,

Noise,

Busyness,

Hustle,

Excuses

Never any time

Now I am drowning,

I need to get out of my own way

 

So I can be still…

But, 

Why do I want to be still again?

I seemed to have forgotten

The truth

 

Anyways, 

How do I be still

In this world,

In the world I created for myself

I never imagined this when I was twelve

All I dreamed of

Was a life like this

I wanted to grow up already

Time was too slow

 

But now I desire that carefree

And childlike freedom

And faith 

With all the time in the world

To run,

To dance,

To play,

To enjoy the world that my Father

Created for me

 

Wait,

Hold on, now, this is the world I created

For myself…

Right?

I can change

I can rearrange

Move things around

My priorities

My calendar

My time

My commitments

My mind

But it never stops

It’ll never stop

It gets too much

That I wish to scream

 

I want to be still…

But, 

Why do I want to be still again?

 

Child,

Be quiet…and

Be still 

And know that I am

God

I am in control

 

Seek me daily and 

You will find rest

 

Even during

The crazy

The busy

The distractions

The noise

The world

Your mind

Your pacing

Your franticness

Your heart

Your hurts

Your pain

Your emotions

Your struggles

Your sins

I know them all

 

But I also know you.

 

Seek me daily and 

You will find rest

Why?

Because I love you

That is 

The truth
