Written by Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), an Indian poet, writer, educator and environmentalist. This is an excerpt from the book “The Heart of God.”
When the heart is hard and parched, come upon me with a shower of mercy. When grace is lost from life, come with a burst of song. When tumultuous work raises its din on all sides, shutting me out from beyond, come to me, God of silence, with Your peace and rest. When my beggarly heart sits crouched, shut up in a corner, break open the door, my God. When desire blinds the mind with delusion and dust, O Holy One, come with Your light and Your thunder.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. [Philippians 4:6-7]
