but Moses told the people
"don't be afraid...just stand still
and watch the LORD rescue you today
the Egyptians you see today will never be
seen again...the LORD Himself will fight for you
...just stay calm"
just.
stay.
calm.
oh how my heart needs
these three small words
some days are just
that way...
the wait is longer
the silence is quieter
the emptiness emptier
the loneliness lonelier
courage?
peace?
joy?
just. stay. calm.
my mind starts
worrying
planning
figuring
fixing
what?
when?
where?
how?
just.
stay.
calm.
He promises to fight
for me...
do I believe?
He says to stand still...
and that includes
my mind
He says "watch Me
rescue you"
He doesn't ask
for help
when I leave the center of
His heart
His arms
His plan
His love
am I not saying
that He is not
enough?
am I not saying
that He is God but...
this stretch
this season
this heart
struggles
yet to struggle
is to feel
to feel is
to be alive
to be alive
is to live
He welcomes my fears
He welcomes my doubts
He welcomes my questions
He welcomes my heart
and this heart He
will hold
always
and forever.
just. be. calm.
