Finding Peace In the Storm

When all around is torn by strife, woes without end beset your life. When peace is but a dismal dream a wistful wish or so it seems. How can the soul in such a state find peace when trials fill its plate? The words of saint Paul provide clues to those who read when they feel blue. Rejoice in God, do, never balk when sadness and strife your soul stalk. Let not storm clouds His will obscure His ways are best, His purpose pure. Remember that God’s words are true, what he has promised he will do. The storms of life can never foil his perfect plan, nor make him toil. Refuse to worry, never doubt, nurture your faith and make it stout. Life’s crucibles are meant to make and purify you for his sake. Resort to prayer when cares crest like ocean waves upon your chest. The soul who craves his Savior’s breast will pass life’s tests, in Him find rest.
