Five minutes: catch

Catch me if you can!
I hear it tinkle like bells from all around me.
Juggling this that and the other thing all at once, spinning balls, whirling plates; a life revolving in dispassionate circles; me at the centre trying to keep control, knowing that a moment's lapse will send everything shattering.

Only it's not true.

That's not me at the centre. That's you. Steady, unmovable, unshakeable. A still centre in the whirling where I can rest.

Please, God, catch me. Hold me still.

    Hold me still . . .  and I think of His words, "Be still and know I am God".  So thankful with you for the stillness we can find in Him.

    Hi,
    Your title caught my attention cuz mine's the same. We are in the same place it seems! May you find yourself caught in God more frequently!

    I think it's a common one... it's so easy to try to grab control of things!
