peace

in a moment of great distress this past week, with my head ringing, plagued by a grey, chaotic cloud of what ifs? hows? and whys? I decided to surrender all my concerns in prayer. i prayed perhaps the most desperate, broken, ridiculous prayer I've prayed in a long long time. it was shamefully elementary and consisted of just three words: god. help. please.

in that moment i felt the peace of god that transcends all understanding settle in the depths of my chaos and suddenly, the stormy waters stopped churning. the rain stopped. the winds ceased.

i reveled in the calm, silenced by the abrupt change.

there was nothing left to say but thank you.
thank you.
thank you.
