Dear restless heart, be still; don't fret and worry so;
God has a thousand ways His love and help to show;
just trust, and trust, and trust until His will you know.
Dear restless heart, be still, for peace is God's own smile,
His love can every wrong and sorrow reconcile;
just love, and love, and love and calmly wait awhile.
Dear restless heart, be still! Don't struggle to be free;
God's life is in your life, from Him you may not flee;
just pray, and pray, and pray, 'til you have faith to see.
-Edith Willis Linn
what a sweet poem!!
one of the things i love most about it is the last line of each stanza- the repetition there seems to say that you can't just trust once, or love a little bit, or pray one time...you keep on trusting and loving and praying consistently and through anything, good or bad! it's like in thessalonians when Paul encourages us to "excel still more"...love still more, pray still more, trust still more. and thus, the restless heart is stilled.
