Serenity in times of stress
Is more than "mettle" or finesse.
It's reservoir is deep within
And shields one from life's daily "din".
Serenity is birthed in prayer,
A precious resource, rich and rare.
It's cooling waters soothe and calm,
Refreshing as a healing balm.
The presence of the Living God
With quietness our feet will shod.
He becomes our inner peace,
Causing stress and strain to cease.
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
Isaiah 26:3 KJV
