Restless Heart

Lord, you created me to be restless until I rest in you.
I am so tired, Lord!
I long to rest in the palm of your hand.
Your hand feels so warm and comforting.
I put my head down and begin to drift off to sleep.
Then, you spread your fingers apart, and I fall out of your hand.
I am jolted back to reality!
My restless heart searches for your hand once again.
Once more, I begin the arduous journey to the peace and love
that can only come from resting in you.
Please hold me tight, Lord, don’t let go.
Amen.
