Serenity

 

My dogs are generally full of energy.  However, I have noticed that when they are tired, they can sleep just about anywhere.  It is fun to watch them as they begin to doze off.  Their heads get heavy and begin to bob.  Their eyes begin to close.  Eventually, they lay their heads down and succumb to the serenity of sleep.

I, on the other hand, can often find it hard to sleep.  When the cares of the world are on my shoulders, my mind often races through the problems and issues of life.  When that happens, it is hard for me to find serenity and tranquility.  All I find is restlessness and anxiety.  However, as I trust in the Lord and put my faith in Him, I can find true rest.

When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.  ~Proverbs 3:24
