There was a thick shadow of darkness
Overpowering my mind and my heart
Worry, anxiety and fear, filled my thinking
Muddled and confused, I felt I was sinking.
I spoke to many people who filled my mind
With ideas that were not from God
When I should have unburdened to Him instead
The overwhelming thoughts going around in my head.
When I turned to God, seeking His peace
Which surpasses all comprehension
He said, “If I keep and guard your heart and mind
A new tranquil state of soul you will find.
So instead of trying to think all things through
I allowed God to unscramble my thinking
Now resting in His immense capability
I possess inward and outward tranquillity.
Philippians 4: 6 & 7
