Poem: Troubled No More
The heart grows loud with whispered lies.
It tells me all will fall apart.
But you speak peace with steady tone.
You call me not to panic more,
But simply turn and trust again.
You are not distant from the strain.
You said these words with death ahead.
You knew the weight your friends would feel.
And still you offered calm and strength.
You led with hope, not fearful hands.
I look to you, not to the fear.
I turn my heart to better light.
You do not change with shifting winds.
You speak, and all begins to rest.
You hold the world, and you hold me.
You did not say there’d be no pain.
You did not hide the cross ahead.
But even there, your peace stood firm.
You offered faith to trembling hearts.
You gave belief to take the place.
Today I choose to trust again.
I lead my heart to where you are.
You do not fail, you do not fear.
You speak and troubled thoughts dissolve.
You are my peace, both near and true.
Prayer:
Jesus, I believe in You. Calm my heart and quiet the storm within. Let not my heart be troubled, for I trust You, my Savior and King. Amen.
