Finally Peace

“Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).

Here in this moment I am finally still.

All that has bombarded my mind is silenced.

The voices that have plagued me are no more.

Here in this moment there is no need to analyze–no need to know why.

My mind is at rest in your peace which surpasses my human need to understand.

If not for your moment of surrender and sacrifice, I wouldn't have this moment with you.

I wouldn't have this peace which has come from surrender of self–of a need to know.

Here in this moment I surrender all I have struggled to perceive.

I sacrifice my attempt to control that which has bound me.

I lay down my heart upon your altar of grace.

Here in this moment I am loved as I have always longed to be loved.

I only know that you are my God, and that is all I need to know–nothing more.

Here in this moment I have you alone.

Here in this moment I hold eternity.
