Preparing a podcast on being still, this poem by Daryl seems very appropriate…
Outlook is gloomy
A bitter heart be
Seems all the world
Is against me
I have to do this
Don’t want to do that
Don’t like my job
Foes to combat
Oh, woe is me
Seems nobody cares
Let’s package this up
And take it to prayer
Jesus, he greets me
With arms of compassion
With Word of “I know”
A healing to fashion
Let’s rest a while
Let’s dwell above
Let’s focus our being
Upon grateful love
