To try to run away from life is impossible to do,
For no matter where you chance to go, your troubles will follow you-
For though the scenery is different, when you look deep inside you'll find
The same deep, restless longings that you thought you left behind...
So when life becomes a problem much too great for us to bear,
Instead of trying to escape, let us withdraw in prayer-
For withdrawal means renewal if we withdraw to pray
And listen in the quietness to hear what God will say.
