Sometimes to really be my best

I simply need, a moments rest

Time to relax my mind

Allow it some quiet, for it to find

Time to relax my body, from its high speed

A little break, is what it needs

Time spent with God, is what my soul aspires

Every part of me, Him requires

To save me from the enemy, who whispers in my ear

That I am not enough, then tells me all my fears

The same enemy that tells me, I do not do enough

As he wreaks his havoc, making the waters feel rough

Though in those quiet moments, I again, can find my peace

When spent with God, my soul is at ease

When apart from God, rest in Him, and all that He provides

I feel a break down, from all of me, from somewhere deep inside

For I am my best, when my rest, is spent always with Him

Without God, I am a mess, as I am lost in my own sin

There is but not true rest, when not rested, with the King

To Him, my soul does seek, for Him my soul does sing

For to truly be, what God had planned for me, to be my very best

It is Him, in who my soul does need, in Him, I must find rest

Rest with God

Isaiah 30:15 NIV

This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says:

“In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.
