Happiness & Seeking

Sometimes I wonder if I have the first idea,
if I even have the smallest glimpse,
of what it means to seek my happiness in you,
to wait on you and find my heart at peace within you,
to give up the fretting and the worry,
even a small part of the anxiety and stress,
to know that you are bigger, better, greater,
more satisfying than these other things,
that I go chasing after, hell-for-leather.
Help me to know more of what this means,
and yet even as I ask this I’m cautious, fearful,
help me to want to seek my happiness in you,
help me to rest in you when fretting hovers at my door.

Psalm 37

If you've appreciated this, why not...
