Be Still

A Poem

Be still my heart

and let your troubles melt away.

You are loved.

You are free.

Yours is the earth and more

for great indeed is your inheritance.

You need not be troubled.

You need not fear anything.

You need not wear yourself out anymore

by efforts that have brought you nothing.

You need only to rest,

to trust,

to believe,

that everything’s going to be just fine.

It will be taken care of by the Hand of God.

Your prayer has been heard

even before it had been uttered.

Your desires shall come to be

and no one can steal your dreams away.

No one can snatch you away

from the Love of God

for you are His

and His alone

forever.

Be still

and rest your weary soul.

Let not your confidence lay
