Peace Midst Alarms

Alarmed with daily hustle-bustle sounds... How can my counselor’s heart and social worker’s mind escape being affected? Disturbing and confusing are eerie grumblings verily discernible to the ears aftermath a lover’s quarrel… Oppressively afflicting are loathsome murmurings absolutely hurting manifested by rebellious sobs of the young… Never to be ignored are the agitated and restless enthusiastic mirth screams from special children persevering to behave but cannot control themselves… With such exposure… I ceaselessly yearn for soothing relief reverberating tranquility of hope and faith blissfully ecstatic, yet serenely pleasurable… Meanwhile, vanquishing skepticism mockery that echoes doubts I seek communion with the Sovereign Who listens to me understanding my heart… just as I am. In the presence of my Saviour, Jesus Christ* I’m secured with joy’s certainty Definitely my haven of rest Though temporal in my earthly abode. *Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
