Dear God,

Late and a bit harried, walking down the center aisle trying to find a seat in church, we heard the opening bars of Be Still and Know that I am God.  As we scooted into the pew each of us quieted, tears welled, and we drank in the message of the living God.

As we walk the way of life, hectic, demanding, and at times sorrowful, you come in a tune, a breeze, a word and you speak a hushing word, a challenge to be still and rest with you.

Thank you,
O God,
for your word
of hope.
Thank you
for your mercy
that stills us
in our tracks
demanding our attention.
Thank you
for love
that bathes us
in peace
and joy.

Gratefully, Andrea
