Still

I always enjoy the still moments with You. I can hear Your soft whispers inside me. The stillness calms me and keeps me at peace. I haven’t quite understood why when things are in disarray, how it can be so hard to pull away to a quiet place with You. Maybe, things are just placed in my way to distract me. Stillness gives me the reassurance of You being near. Things I have often occupied my time with was for temporary satisfaction. And then those things would leave me with scattered thoughts and a heart unsettled. Being still in Your presence draws me back to the well of living water and refreshes my soul. I find my strength in solitude. I thank You for being ever so close to me when I feel as though I’m getting so far away from You. You always have a way of pulling me back. I will learn to be more still with You. I love when You reveal Your perfect will to me. After all, I’m here to live out Your will, not my own. I ask that You give me the opportunity to empty myself out. I will sit with You for every instruction and allow you to be the Sovereign Lord over my life. I'm here...

still.
