Scripture Reading
Psalm 46:10
"Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!"
Reflection
In the noise of daily life it is easy to lose the thread back to God's presence. This short verse is both command and comfort — stop striving, stop rushing, and simply know. The knowledge of God is not primarily intellectual; it is a quieting of the soul before the One who holds all things.
Prayer for Today
Come dress me Lord in comfort. Give me new shoes, so that my feet might tread steadily across this difficult life terrain. Give me new clothes, so that my vulnerability is covered, my soul protected at this turbulent time. Give me a new crown, perfect to my size, unique and real, one that reminds me of who I am in this season. Come shower me Lord with peace. Cleanse me with grace, may it fall softly upon each moment, bringing restoration in these harsh days. Come shower me Lord with peace. Refresh me with hope, may clean dew pour into every shadow of despair that I endure. Come shower me Lord with peace. Refill me with faith, may it overflow in my soul and rise high in my heart. Lord, thank you that you are my comfort and my peace. Amen.
Amen.
