Warmth that caresses my soul
when troubles come
then slowly go
a gentle breeze
through the leaves
that are my soul
My Father’s hand is in control.
How calm the hand,
my Father’s hand
and scars I see
on these palms
of Jesus, Saviour
I see He bled for me.
That same hand
so tender, caring
holds me lovingly
but firmly, quietly
in true peace that teaches skillfully
…and quietness I finally learn.

Life can often feel so chaotic. Juggling a stressful job, a number of relationships, financial woes, and a host of other demands can sometimes be just too much. It s no surprise that we find ourselves internally screaming and begging for a moment of peace. The Bible offers us a host of verses about peace, a goal that any careful reader of scripture will recognize as one of God s deepest desires for every one of us and for the world at large.
