Transformation

I came to scoff
And stayed to pray
l tried to shake Him off
But He wouldn’t go away.
He works on me slowly
Not against my will
One day at a time
Till my mind becomes still.
Devoid of all anxiety
Ceasing somehow to care
Just taking comfort
In the knowledge that He is there.
How does He do it?
l really, do not know
But my life has been altered…
Incredibly so.
