Christian Poems of ANXIETY

(Various authors)

"His grace is great enough to meet the great things; the crashing waves that overwhelm the soul, the roaring winds that leave us stunned and breathless, the sudden storms beyond our life's control. -- His grace is great enough to meet the small things; the little pin-prick troubles that annoy, the insect worries, buzzing and persistant, the squeaking wheels that grate upon our Joy." --Annie Johnson Flint

"O thou of little faith, God hath not failed thee yet! When all looks dark and gloomy, thou dost soon forget -- Forget that He has led thee, and gently cleared thy way; on clouds has poured His sunshine, and turned thy night to day. /// "And if He's helped thee hitherto, He will not fail thee now; how it must wound His loving heart to see thy anxious brow! Oh! doubt not any longer, to Him commit thy way, Whom in the past thou trusted, and 'is just the same today'!" --Anonomous

Thou art the Lord who slept upon the pillow; Thou art the Lord who soothed the furious sea. What matter beating wind and tossing billow If only we are in the boat with Thee?

Hold us in quiet through the age-long minute While Thou art silent, and the wind is shrill: Can the boat sink while Thou, dear Lord, art in it? Can the heart faint that waiteth on Thy will?--Amy Carmichael

"The care that is filling your mind at this moment, or but waiting till you lay the book down to leap upon you--that need which is no need, is a demon sucking at the spring of your life."

[And the other person--this is a dialogue--the other person says,]

"'No; mine is a reasonable care--an unavoidable care, indeed!

"'Is it something you have to do this very moment?'

"'No.'

"'Then you are allowing it to usurp the place of something that is required of you at this moment!'

"'There is nothing required of me at this moment.'

"'Nay, but there is--the greatest thing that can be required of a man.'

"'And what's that?'

"'Trust in the living God....'

"'I do trust Him in spiritual matters.'

"'Everything is an affair of the spirit.'"--George MacDonald
