I lay all my everyday burdens at the foot of the cross
on which my Savior died to forgive all my sins.
Good Evening
Psalm 107:29-30
He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
As thou learnest this lesson,
to carry all thy sorrows to God,
and lie at thy Saviour’s feet,
and spread thy grief before Him,
thou wilt find a calm come over thee,
thou knowest not whence;
thou wilt see through the clouds a bright opening,
small perhaps and quickly closed,
but telling eternal rest,
and everlasting day,
and of the depth of the Love of God.
Thy heart will still rise and sink,
but it will rise and sink,
not restlessly,
nor waywardly,
not in violent gusts of passion;
but resting in stillness
on the boson of the ocean of the Love of God.
Then shalt thou learn,
not to endure only patiently,
but, in everything against thy will,
humbly and quickly to see and to love the loving Will of God.
Thy faith and thy love and thy hope will grow,
the more thou seest the work of God with thee,
thou wilt joy in thy sorrow,
and thy sorrow will be turned into joy.

Rest in stillness . . . Today
