Be anxious about nothing, but in everything, 
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, 
present your requests to God.  
And the peace of God, which
  Transcends all understanding, 
  will guard your hearts and your minds in
 Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:4-7
 

 

   O Child, how tenderly I woo thee,
      How gently I call.
   But you must be attentive & listening
       To hear Me at all....

       I Am all around you,
   Every minute of the day--
   Speaking, but many times
   Your thoughts are far away.

          Lost in the cares,
         And anxieties of life,
               When I would guide you to the left,
       You turn to the right

   Much have you missed me by unhearing ears--
Many have been your unnecessary tears.
  I desire to guide you by a small, still voice,
 But weather you hear Me is by your own choice.
              
   For I Am speaking, uttering words of life,
Where your own actions can only bring you strife.
Yea, only an attentive heart will hear
     For in worship will My counsel be made very clear.
