Rescue your mind from trouble

Rescue your soul from torment

Rescue your spirit from restlessness

Rescue your day from waste

Rescue your thoughts from bitterness

Rescue your heart from pain

Focus on the Word for love

Focus on all that is good

Focus on what is, not what you desire

Focus on your blessings, past and present

Focus on your inner stillness, meditate

Focus, where focus needs to be focused

Focus on the very moment of life

Peace be still, the Word is your peace!
