Today

Today I am truly content, 
within my life I feel ease; 
Im not struggling within myself, 
God has given me inner peace. 
The struggles that I had yesterday, 
that filled me with anger and fear; 
When I gave them to the Lord, 
all but disappeared. 
How much extra pain we carry, 
When we refuse our burdens to share; 
Just take them all unto the lord, 
in honest heartfelt prayer.
