There are Times

There are times
when the stomach churns and turns
and you fight panic
and you scramble to correct mistakes
and you search for a sure footing
and keep slipping, grasping at air.

There are times
when there's nowhere to go
to still the anxious heart
except to run into the arms
of the Beloved One
who calls you by name.

Only Jesus,
who cries,
"Come to me,
all who are weary
and heavy laden
and I will give you rest."
