I am tired

Tonight I am tired
Tired of the to do lists
Tired of the demands of life
Tired of feeling overwhelmed

Tonight I am tired
Tired of doing, doing, doing
Tired of the silence
Tired of the endless noise

Tonight I am tired
Tired of the headache
Tired of the fight
Tired of seeking without finding

I am tired
So I’m going to bed
Knowing that tomorrow is a new day
Tomorrow I can start over
Tomorrow holds the promise of hope
And peace
And the answers that I seek

Tonight I am tired
So I’m choosing to rest in my Jesus
Rest.
Knowing He is in control.
Rest.
Knowing He loves me.
Rest.
That word is balm to my weary soul.
