Pieces of Peace - A Poem

I was working on my latest devotional to share with you all when I came across a poem I wrote back in 2009.  I felt led to share.  May you all know and rely upon the peace we can only get from Him.

 

Pieces of Peace

©2009

 Outside the world is searching

for the calm after the storm.

So many lives are torn apart,

so many spirits worn.

Within the midst of chaos

in a world that knows no peace

He will be a harbor

to offer hearts reprieve.

Governments can crumble

and riches disappear

but the arms of God are open,

His peace is always near.

Suffering and heartache

are never hard to find

as we suffer through the fires

emerging more refined.

We shoulder heavy burdens

that we aren’t meant to bear,

when God says He will carry

what we bring to Him in prayer.
