In Jesus’ Loving Arms ~

Lord, come comfort me today,
I need to feel Your arms
shielding and protecting me
from all that hurts and harms.

Take away this unrest,
filling my heart and my soul
come to me with Your arms
ready to soothe and console.

Lord, come give me solace,
peace and encouragement
today in Your loving arms
let me find nourishment.

Remove my anxiety,
relieve me from my fear
in Your waiting arms
draw me close and near.

Lord, come comfort me today,
hold me in Your embrace
renew in me the hope . . .
of Your undying grace!

Matthew 11:29-30

“Take my yoke upon you,
and learn of me;
for I am meek
and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find
rest unto your souls.

For my yoke is easy,
and my burden is light.”

A Trembling Mess ~

I use to be,
panic-stricken
I once was
fear driven.

But then Jesus,
said to me
don’t be afraid
by what you see.

I use to be,
a big worry wart
I once was
anxiety’s transport.

But then Jesus,
took my cares
said they were His
alone to bear.

I use to be,
a trembling mess
but then Jesus carried
away all my distress!

2 Timothy 1:7

“For God hath not given us
the spirit of fear;
but of power,
and of love,
and of a sound mind.”

May Peace Rule Your Heart ~

May the peace of God,
rule deep in your heart
may onto your very soul
tranquility it impart.

May the peace of God,
be a treasured possession
may it transform you
with its purification.

May the peace of God,
be your daily prayer
may it give you power
over your every care.

May the peace of God,
make you a peace-maker
may it turn you into . . .
someone’s care-taker.

May the peace of God,
be your first priority
may into His hands
you cast your anxiety.

May the peace of God,
in your heart reign
may you give to Him
all of your pain!

Isaiah 26:3

“Thou wilt keep him
in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed
on thee: because he
trusteth in thee.”
