Trust

April 28, 2020

Through ups and downs I’ve come to know,
I’m not the one who runs the show.

Sometimes I think I’m in control.
It’s up to me. I’ve set a goal.

But I don’t know what lies ahead,
What twists and turns that I should dread.

With life on pause, at least for now,
I pray I learn, Lord teach me how,

To rest, content, and trust in You,
And know each day you’ll get me through.

You know my future and my past.
The world may change. Your love will last.

I pray for peaceful, restful sleep
That’s soothing, healing, sound, and deep.

And when awake, I pray, each day
I’ll trust in You to guide my way.

    do not depend on your own understanding.
    6 Seek his will in all you do,
    and he will show you which path to take.
