The psalmist says we should
Look for Him in the rushing waters
Where there is nothing but loose pebbles
And air to cling to.
Keep afloat wherever the current takes you;
Find Him when your toes can
No longer touch bottom.
He won't let you go.
Reach out.
He is here.
After all, He gave you
The desires of your heart.

Very placid and peaceful words. Indeed rather psalm-like.
Best wishes, Eileen

Thanks for the encouraging comments, friends! I had no idea what I was going to write when I sat with my notebook for 15 minutes :)

*After all, He gave you
The desires of your heart!
I love the idea of keep a float; really beautiful~
After all He did give us everything we need when we were brought into this world.
"After all, He gave you
The desires of your heart"....perfect ending lines...so true :)
A calm and content acceptance, a peaceful soul resides in this poem. Thanks for sharing.
Your post expresses with beautiful words what is in my heart. I intend to just let go of the struggle and just hold onto Him. That is the one struggle worth fighting. I loved this. Great addition to my mornig devotions.
