When ever I am troubled,

And lost in deep despair.

I bundle all my troubles up,

And go to God in prayer.

I tell Him that I'm heartsick,

Lost and lonely too,

That my heart is deeply burdened,

And I don't know what to do.

But I know He stilled the tempest,

And He calmed the angry sea;

I humbly ask if, in His love,

He'll do the same for me.

And then I just sit quiet,

And think only thoughts of peace,

And if I abide in stillness,

My restless murmurings cease. Mrs Glenice Newsham
