Listening to God

Philippians 4:11

I have learned in whatsoever state I am,
Therewith to be as content as a lamb;
It is because of the peace in my heart,
Just the way I have been since the start;
Calm, cool and collected is my style,
For God makes living so worthwhile;
Maybe you're discouraged or dissatisfied,
In addition, your stress has intensified;
Put your problems into God's destiny,
He'll lead you away from the agony;
He may want you in another place,
That would put you in an about-face;
God desires for the need to instill,
Providing an amenable to His will;
Maybe His plan staying where you are,
Or could be wanting you to travel far;
It's just a matter of paying attention,
Of everything that God will mention;
Where to go, what to say and how to do,
Exactly what he has plans for you.
