Be still

Psalm 46:8-10
Come, behold the works of the Lord;
see what desolations he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.
“Be still, and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nations,
I am exalted in the earth.”

God,
quiet in us
any voice
but your own.

As a loving parent
hold a fusy baby,
calm us,
hold us,
lovingly quiet us...
Hush little baby...
quiet now...
Shhh...

As Jesus said
to the storming waves,
"Peace, be still!"
so now, Lord,
say to my soul:
"Be still"

"Be still"
Breathing in and out,
Still,
Quiet,
Calm,
Silent,
Listening,
...





"Be still"
Amen.
