Rest Poem

Lord, I’m tired, discouraged and weary
No Matter what I try to do
Always seems to end in failure
Can I give it all to you?

I want so badly to hold on
To have things go my way
The pain of giving up my dreams
Seems harder everyday

But You call me to place my faith in You
To surrender to Your will
Yet while in this earthly body
My sinful nature’s hard to kill

I struggle to give in
To let you have control
Why is it so hard to trust You
When You’re the one who saved my soul?

You gave up all your glory
Paid my punishment on that tree
Became a humble servant
Set an example for me to see

I long to be perfected
To know where I belong
To understand more fully
I hope it won’t be long

With each new day that comes my way
Please remind me that You’re there
Always eagerly awaiting me
To come to You in prayer

Remind me that the plans you have
Are always for my best
So I can give my fears to You
And in you’ll strength I’ll rest
