Come, o my soul! Be still
in the presence of your God.
Have faith that the grace of God
is unfailing, unmatched, and
wholly life-giving. Breathe,
o my soul. Be at peace.
Be at peace.
Come, o my soul! Be still

Be at peace.
More–
This is often the yearning within
More of whatever it is in the moment
that will somehow make me a
more
put-together
esteemed
strong
woman
But more is not God’s way
Less is
Less of me
leads to
more of God
in me
Grace-giver…
oh that I would
rest in Your sufficiency
Dearest Lord,
Maker of Heaven and Earth,
My Rock and my Shield.
Nothing
happens in your Love
without your Grace!!!
My life is Yours because
I believe
Your Grace
Gives me
Breath!!!
Thank you, God!!!
Hallelujah!!!
Amen
“Nothing happens in Love without Grace.” Yes!
Inadequacy. Weakness.
That is all I see.
But you, O God, see beyond.
Beyond my strivings.
Beyond my grasping.
Beyond my limited understanding.
Quieten my soul.
Let me hear you speak.
May your words pierce my heart.
Your grace is sufficient.
Grace.
“Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side.” (Catharina von Schlegel)
I love that hymn!
Grace: living and strong
Grace: loving and gentle
Grace: gifting and joyful.
Graceful God, pour your balm and mercy on my strivings, on my busyness and refresh me with the peace that I fail to see, yet is closer than my next breath.
“Pour balm & mercy on our strivings.” Amen.
