Everything and anything 
swirling around or through
or landing within… 
Everything and anything 
causing upheaval or peace 
or crushing my heart… 
Everything and anything 
tempting children of God
or offering pure grace… 
Everything or anything 
happening to me,
for me,
through me,
around me… 
Everything and anything 
“…it is well with my soul…”
for faith quiets my mind 
and hope protects my heart
as Your Love covers it all. 

*With thanks to the hymn, “When Peace, Like a River,” by Horatio Spafford (1876); and 1 Corinthians 13:13.
