rumi quote art – katharinalucia | ART

"You, Lord are forgiving and you give abounding love to all who call to you." Psalm 86:5 -Bible I find my peace in faith and prayer for the Lord wraps me in his loving wings he is my warrior, my rock, anchor and strength my truth, shelter and my enduring peace With meditation I can let go of these earthly bonds thankful for this life and all I treasure closing my eyes I drift and float in peace never knowing where my soul will journey Each new morn' is an opportunity to find peace so, I kneel to the Lord for strength and courage for serenity and tranquility for the day ahead often, I can feel a stroke upon my hair When I have struggles the Lord holds my hand he knows my forever grief and weeps also I am lifted up high with his strong arms and his whispers- you can do this for I am here So, I will ever speak his name loudly singing for him heavenly praises each new day never denying my faith, respect and love and when my earthly life ends ... I will enter those golden gates peacefully ______________________ January 30, 2023 Poetry/Free Verse/Be Like A Peaceful Tree Copyright Protected, ID 01-1522-345-30 All Rights Reserved, 2023, Constance La France Posted to Facebook, 02/10/2023 Written for the Premiere contest, Finding Peace sponsor, Regina McIntosh, Judged 02/04/2023 Fourth Place

So beautiful Constance ! I love it so much. On reading this, I feel a sort of inner peace entering my soul. Being with God and lifting our eyes to Him in our helplessness and thanking Him in our joy will make ourselves dear to Him. All the best in the contest.

Amen, allow God to separate you from worldly worries and strife for He has pulled you out of it, All the chaos going around us simply people clinging to this life rejecting God, May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance
