Some Christians fold,
when under pressure
trials and tests
they cannot weather.
Their trust starts to fizzle,
when they are stressed
and they let off steam
whenever hard pressed.
Some Christians simmer,
when under tension
hardships and grief
only cause more friction.
Their faith begins to wane,
till it all but implodes
and from all of their cares
what is left just erodes.
Some Christian blow up,
when under pressure . . .
but, we who keep praying
have peace beyond measure!
~~~~~~~~
Be careful for nothing;
but in every thing by prayer
and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests
be made known unto God.
And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.
