We’ve been looking at John 16:33, and seeing that truly following Jesus is the way to have peace. Here’s a devotional poem from Christ-follower Cecil Billingsley seeing the same. It’s called “Rest My Mind.”

Stress’n too much,
feel’n out of touch —
the hate of their words,
the weight of the world.

Times like these,
I drop to my knees,
I rest my mind upon the Lord.

When I start to fear,
’cause of what I hear —
the pain we created,
solutions debated.

Times like these,
I drop to my knees,
I rest my mind upon the Lord.
