Spiritual Motivation and Insight

Heavenly Peace

I traveled so far that I lost my way.
I asked for guidance but my friends had nothing to say.
I was feeling desperate, alone and so scared.
It seemed to me that no-one cared.

Finally, I gave up and knelt to the ground.
I was convinced that love was nowhere around.
Quietly, the tears fell from my eyes.
Suddenly Someone heard my silent cries.

My soul was filled with such a sweet peace,
The chaos inside of me suddenly ceased.
My eyes were crying no more tears.
Gone from my heart was all worry and fear.

My Lord had reached down and touched my soul.
I knew at that moment I could reach my goal.
Although the road ahead will at times be unsteady,
With help from the Lord, I know I am ready.

I asked Him to go with me each step of the way.
He promised to be with me each hour of each day.
He promised to always be by my side
To protect, heal and love, support and to guide.

His love fills my heart; He’s my best friend.
My Lord will be with me all the way to the end.

"Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at
all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of
you." 2 Thessalonians 3:16 NIV

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again:
Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The
Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God. And the peace of God,
which transcends all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally,
brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble,
whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is
lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is
excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from
me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God
of peace will be with you." Philippians 4:4-9 NIV

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with
hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
NIV
