Whenever I Am Troubled Poem by Kathy Hunter

Whenever I am troubled and lost in deep despair

I bundle all my troubles and go to God in prayer.

I tell Him I am heartsick, and lost and lonely too.

That my mind is deeply burdened and I don't know what to do.

But I know He stilled the tempest and calmed the angry sea,
And I humbly ask if in his love He will do the same for me.

Then I just keep quiet and think only thoughts of peace,
And if I abide in stillness, my restless murmuring cease.
