Episode 408: Stillness

Today's Prayer Meditation is on Stillness

I still myself before you, Father. I know that you are God. You are exalted among the nations. You are exalted in the earth.

I do not have to fight, Father, for you have already won the battle. All I have to do is to be silent and stand in the victory you have already won. So I stand firm and hold my position, and see your salvation on my behalf. I am not afraid or dismayed, because you are with me. 

In the stillness and in the quiet, I wait for you, Father. You renew my strength. I mount up with wings like an eagle. I run and do not grow weary. I walk and do not faint. 

Because you are my shepherd, I will never lack any good thing. You give me peaceful green pastures to lie down in. You lead me beside still waters. You restore my soul. You keep me in perfect peace, because my mind is stayed on you. I trust in you. 

I have calmed and quieted my soul. I hope in you, Father, from this time forth and forevermore. It is in returning to you and resting in you that I find salvation. It is in quietness and in trust that I find strength.

You have given me your peace. Not the peace of the world which comes and goes depending upon circumstances. But an everlasting peace. My heart isn't troubled, and I am not afraid. I rest in your peace.

I take heart even in the midst of tribulation, because you have overcome the world.

For you alone, my soul waits in silence. From you comes my salvation. You are my rock, my fortress. I shall not be greatly shaken. On you rests my salvation and my glory; you are my mighty rock; my refuge. I trust in you at all times and pour out my heart before you. 

I am still before you and wait patiently for you. I come before you in your holy temple. I keep silence before you.

I was weary and the burdens and cares of this world weighed heavily upon me, but I came to you, and in you I find rest. I cast all my cares on you, Father, because you care for me. 

So be it. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
