This used to be my favorite poem to read, and now I find I have to work at making my quiet time with God, so that it even exists at all!<BR>Hope you enjoy it...<P> The Lord is my Pacesetter, I shall not rush.<P>He makes me stop and rest for quiet intervals,<P>He provides me with images of stillness, which restore my serenity.<P>He leads me in ways of efficiency through calmness of mind,<P>And His guidance is peace.<P>Even though I have a great many things to accomplish each day, I will not fret, for His presence is here.<P>His timelessness, His all-importance will keep me in balance.<P>He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity,<P>By anointing my mind with His oils of tranquillity.<P>My cup of joyous energy overflows, surely harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruit of my hours for.....<P>I shall walk in the place of my Lord and dwell in His house forever...<P><BR>(Of course the secret of this is the last sentence and keeping our eyes on Jesus, and for us in our circumstances that means we really have to focus harder )

That is beautiful, very soothing.<BR>If only I could walk that walk. I am trying, but I feel like I fail more than I suceed.<P>Thanks for posting it.<P>Cheryl

It is hard to feel that when we are caught up in the conflict with arrogant selfish confused blaming angry spouses.<P>It is really hard. <P>{{{hugs}}}

Wonderful! He does give you peace in the midst of the storm. I can atest to that because He has given me the strength to endure. When I am at my lowest, He takes over which makes me at my strongest. I rely on Him all the time even when I feel great because I don't want to become complacent and forget that He is always there.<P>------------------<BR>God Bless,<BR>Rob<P><BR>
