Seeking Rest When I Am Weak

When I am weak,
I take the time
to let things be.
I am more intentional
to try and get more sleep,
to let some of the stuff go
that usually keeps me busy.

When I am weak,
I am intentionally
making rest
more of a priority.

And when I think
about the few times I am weak
like when sickness strikes
or my emotions leak
because of hormonal changes
and such kinds of things....

I like that I allow myself to rest;
to pull away from the usual
to seek the balance I need.

And I smile to think,
that much in the same way
when I am weak in body,
and I seek out
sweet physical rest -
so when I am weak in spirit
and I seek God's beautiful rest,
then I become much stronger.

I AM weak in spirit.
I need Gods sweet rest
at all times to get me through
in this harsh life.

And needing God in every way
is all the strength I need.
