Slowing Down

a poem about slowing down from busyness and finding rest in God

Slowing down is hard,
but we have a heart to guard.
If we lose our focus on Him,
hope’s light starts seeming dim.
Carve out time to seek His face.
On busy souls, He pours out grace.
May we slow down to find rest
in Him Who comforts the best.
