Everyday

All I feel is unrest

All I hear is the noise

The noise of thoughts moving faster then I thought possible

The noise in my soul

I thought getting away from life would give me rest

But my cluttered mind became more cluttered

The development of anxiety made me think that I had lost it

The noise of the world I couldn't stop

The temptations whispering in my ear

All I felt was restless

Never feeling rest

Unable to experience joy because I was too focused on my problems

The only place I ever found rest

Was at the foot of my King

The only time I ever felt calm

The only place I ever felt peace

Where I found joy

Was at the foot of the cross

So Dear Jesus

I lay this noise down

I thank you for the calm

I just ask for the strength that only you can give me

You are my King

You are my God

You are me Rest
