“Lord, the pace can get feverish, the speed of things can make us sick.
The hurry makes us hurt.

Still us.
Slow us.

It is safe to exhale.
It is safe to trust.
You are safe to trust.

We are safe:
You know the hairs on our head — so we can leave our life in Your hands.

We are safe:
You love our loved ones beyond even death & into the grace of eternal life — so we can leave our fears at the door.

We are safe:
You name us Beloved — so we can leave all the lies at Your feet & find the relief of Your arms.

In the stillness now….
we taste Your goodness now.

Because when the world strives — the wise still.
It’s the only way to feel our Father’s embrace.
