Heaven's Cure for Earth's Care

“Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:6, 76Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6‑7)).
Many a burden, many a labor,
Many a fretting care,
Busy footsteps coming, going,
Little time for prayer.
Duties waiting on my threshold
Will not be denied,
Others, coming round the corner,
Crowding to their side.
How shall I their number master?
How shall I get through?
How keep calm amid the tumult?
Lord, what shall I do?
Give Thy strength to meet my weakness;
Give a heart at rest;
Give a childlike, trustful spirit,
Leaning on Thy breast.
Thou canst still the wildest conflict,
Bid the billows cease;
Thou canst fill earth’s busiest moment
With Thy perfect peace.
