Unlocking Peaceful Living

I bless you to sleep like a baby.

Though researchers have
Pinpointed 7000 different human fears,
We’re born with only two—
Heights and loud noises.

How adept we adults are
To have learned 6,998 other worries
On the path to adulthood.

But Jesus offers us
A return to childhood,
A rebirth into a simpler life
That acknowledges our smallness
And admires God’s bigness.

Children have so much less control
And so much more peace.
Toddlers know they aren’t in charge
And that’s their ticket to worry-free living.

“Your Heavenly Father knows [what]
You need” (Matthew 6:32, ESV).
He knows.
He’s got this, little child of God,
He’s got this.
