Fears and Tears

I feel that peace has left me and anxiety has returned. It has happened a little each day until I now find myself unsettled and restless. It is like being tossed around in a turbulent ocean.

Thoughts from the past vie for my attention, current worries surface and the future makes me anxious. It is not a great place to be.

I trust in the Lord, I take a deep breath and begin again. My heart longs for peace, my heart searches for the Lord, and I am going to listen in the quiet for Him.

Lord, I don’t understand what I am feeling but You do. I pray that You speak to me and lead me into a place of peace. Help me to cast off the distractions and focus on what Your will is. I offer up my failings to You, I offer up my worries to You; my heart longs for peace. Hear me my God and my Lord. Amen.
