Stillness & Quiet

Still my heart,
Oh Lord,quieten the turmoils
within.

Give me peace,
Oh God,
release the rest
you intend for me.

Silent... oh God,
all the urges
and voices that push me...
to move on and on
without stopping,
without resting...

Still me down,
my Father,
hold me to your hands,
remove my cares, burdens, and heavy wearies...
and be there in the silence with you...

God, silent me,
still me,
slow me down,
deal with that rush...that is somehow within
this heart of mine.

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:6,7.
I pray He gives You this Peace.

The bible says, 'Be still and know that I am God', Its okay to take a deep breath and sit back and let God take the wheel. Once you put the trust in him, you will be able to identify the time when you should be still.

thanks Prettylyf.....you are wonderful.

You know, I like the fact that we can talk to God when need be cause not man can do anything for us but the almighty.....
