This Place of Rest

This place of rest
Is somewhere I never
Wanted to be
Yet this peace that
Abounds is more
Precious than gold
More serene than
All the fame this
World has to offer
Could I be any more blessed?
Thank you Lord
For this place deep within my heart
As I lay upon my bed
And gaze outside my window
I see blue skies
I hear the birds melody
as I sit in a house on a
block I never wanted to be

“Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present
your requests to God and the peace
that passes all understanding will guard
your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:4-7
