I walked into the woods today,

God’s will and heart to find.

I poured my worries on the way.

Searched Him for rest of mind.
~

As quiet came and stillness neared,

My racing thoughts He eased.

My doubting soul and all I feared

Were ushered into peace.
~

As voices in my head were stilled

I finally could hear.

His voice my heart with comfort filled,

“My child, I’m always here.”
~

For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel,
“In returning and rest you shall be saved;
in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”
But you were unwilling,
Isaiah 30:15 (ESV)
