Runaway truck ramp
STOP the truck!
STOP my running
Come to a halt
Too much going on
No time to reflect
No time to be still
Too much. Too much
Less is better
Time to savor the graces
STOP and take stock
Note where I’m headed
Have I gotten off track?
Did I make a wrong turn?
Are my brakes failing?
What’s going on here?
Have I taken the bait?
My will, not Yours?
No time for listening
Just running ahead
Lord Jesus, help me
Slow down the pace
Follow, not lead
Stay on the path
Tell tale clues
Hard to stay focused
Missing connections
Things fall through the cracks
Losing my peace
Inner disturbance
Unsettled feeling
O Lord, how I need You!
STOP and re-group
Return to Your Presence
Open the Word
Receive Your mercy
May this new day
Be no more, no less
No sooner, no later
Than what You desire
Stay on that ramp
Til the peace returns
Then slowly back up
Start over again
Head back down the hill
Not a runaway now
Measured pace
In tune with Your steps
Follow in Your footsteps
Stay close to You
Pause often to listen
And wait for Your guidance
I need You, O I need You
Every hour I need You
Every moment
Every day
Thank You Lord praise You
You restore my soul
Hold me close Lord
Never let me go
Thank You for that ramp
A place to re-group
To regain my bearings
Inner peace that gives birth to Joy…
