When I have Peace

When I stop glancing behind,
when I stop peering ahead,
when I stop adding and subtracting to find the balance,
when I stop stirring around in what's going on,
when I am still,
when I look at only God,
when I recognize His Spirit within me,
when I hold on to His promises,
when I know He is in control,
that's when joy sneaks in,
that's when an excitement builds in anticipation of the future,
that's when I have peace.
- me
