Encouragement

Note: This piece is offered with love to help those who are seeking 'tranquility' in the midst of the fast pace of today's world.

How can I accomplish it all?
When will the rushing end?
Everyone wants a part of me!
On whom can I depend?

Each minute of my busy day
Is filled with errands and tasks.
When activities call me away from home
I put on a happy 'mask'.

I have to accomplish everything -
Isn't that what life is about?
But, I admit there are many days
When I want to scream and shout!

"I've got to stop this crazy ride!
I need some time to breathe!
I can't keep up this hectic pace
For I'm ready to explode as I seethe."

In order to fit everything in
I have to push some things aside
And then I feel neglectful.
Am I doing all this out of pride?

Wait…let me stop and think some more.
What would God want me to do?
Chaos and confusion are not of Him!
Oh, how can I get through?

I must stop fighting this battle
As I strive to get everything done!
For struggling is the cause of the pressures
And that battle will never be won.

I need to find some quiet time
And pray with all my heart.
For I know God has a plan for me
And I want to do my part.

My goals always seemed important
But if they are not in God's plan,
I need to rethink my focus
And turn to God and not man.

For only when God is my center
Will I feel a real peace within me.
And, when I give Him back my life
I will find tranquility.
