2 Timothy 1:7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
You know how I can rush at things
Without much thought, as if on wings.
My mind it runs into each task,
Without request or even ask
For guidance from the calmest source
And listen for the way to course.
Yet in those quiet moments rare,
I sense your calming presence there;
A holy living inward balm
To ease my soul and still each qualm;
That calls a halt, that says remain
Just here, with me, live not in vain.
Come Holy Spirit tend my life
Release it from life’s edgéd knife,
Weed out conceit, where I know best
That in you arms I stop and rest.
Gentle Spirit come now console
And through your fruit renew, make whole.
No conflict is so severe as his who labours to subdue himself - Thomas a Kempis
