Daily Prayer - Be still

Good Wednesday morning, my friends.

 

Psalm 27:13-15:

I remain confident of this:

   I will see the goodness of the LORD

   in the land of the living.

Wait for the LORD;

   be strong and take heart

   and wait for the LORD.

 

Psalm 46:10:

He says, "Be still, and know that I am God;

   I will be exalted among the nations,

   I will be exalted in the earth."

 

How are you doing at being still?  Maybe this prayer/poem will help you as it did me.

 

 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Bruce

 

I sit

and stop running towards the sounds and visions

that I think will fulfill me.

 

I allow my feet to stop walking aimlessly

and to root deeply into my life,

here and now.

 

I let my hands rest in my lap,

and stop grasping for those things

I think will satisfy me.

 

I drop the heavy weight I carry

on my back and shoulders to the ground,

and feel instantly lighter for this action.

 

I let go of all thoughts that do not serve Stillness,

and I feel my mind becoming more open and receptive.

 

I allow my breathing to quiet,

and to match my intention for Stillness.

 

I tell my Heart seeking Love

to be Still,

and to receive that which is freely and unconditionally given.

 

I connect to my Soul searching for fulfillment

in the Stillness,

and I allow my inner wisdom to speak to me of revelations.

 

I dissipate doubt

with the awareness of the Stillness and wisdom

within me.

 

I face down fear

with the strength of the Stillness

at my innermost core.

 

I trust,

surrendering to the best of my life,

to my personal fulfillment,

and to the knowledge that I am Divinely Loved

no matter where I go in my life's journey.

 

I am Still,

and I feel blessed…now.

 

I close my eyes

in the Stillness

and stop searching outside of me

for clues to who I am.

 

I Am…within all of this…Still.
