Tranquil Shores

In this life there are no guarantees
and your heart may be heavy with dismay.
When the world pushes you to your knees,
you're in the perfect position to pray.

Has it grown completely still?
There's no wind in your sails.
In the quiet, may you find God's will
and peace during raging storms and gales.

May you learn through the rhythms of the tide
that He keeps you, though the seas may roar.
In darkest night, may His lighthouse guide
you safely to tranquil shore.

I wrote this as I was inspired by my friend Stevan Overby' this morning. On his Facebook profile he shared this quote, "When the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray."
