taste and see that the lord is good.

the mind can be so awful when under attack:
continually in motion,
thinking about thing after thing, moment after moment of your life.
never stopping to allow you a chance to stop.
to slow down and breathe.
sometimes you feel like you are on a never ending roller coaster that you have no control over.
my biggest fear.
the mind can be so tiring.
you hear the whispering in your mind:
why did you say that
why did you do that
you sinner.
you are not worthy, not worth it.
not lovely, not lovable.
all you want it to do is stop,
slow down and breathe.
one word makes it all better:
Jesus
that name is so powerful. even when barely whispered it brings order.
Jesus
and the battle within becomes his.
instead of the victim, your role is switched to one of faith.
trust.
and watch as the roller coaster slows to a stop.
whisper his name and the chaos is replaced with peace. the fear melts to joy.
with just his name.
thats all it takes.
come and rest.
