Resting or Wrestling?

Are you resting in Jesus
Or wrestling with stress
Wondering how to let go
And worry, far less?

As His child crying “Abba”
Reach out through the day
For your needs, and others
Remember always, to pray.

So, not passive withholding
But praying, and caring
Preparing and sharing
Boldly go forth, declaring.

Yes, remade in His image
Now reflecting His goodness
The fruits of His Spirit
Stay filled, with His fullness.

So, rejoice always in God
For we’re bound, by His love
Let your heart overflow
Filled from heaven above.

Yes, pray for God’s Spirit
Come speak to your soul
Not rushing while reading
Lest from Him, time you stole.

Love seeks not, its own
Is not provoked, nor evil
Nor rejoices in iniquity
But in truth, loving people.

Yes Lord, prune my branch
To be all You desire
For my longing and yearning
Is to lift You up, higher.

So, friend do drink deeply
Of His living waters, each day
That your mind-set, your attitude
Is to but love, and obey.

Awaiting Your coming
Our hope, so blessed
Your glorious appearing
Unfailing love, expressed.
