Finding time to be still
Is increasingly hard,
As people "come at us"
Without much regard.
If we aren't careful
We soon can feel "drained".
And then life becomes
Somewhat weary and strained.
We need time with God,
In stillness and thought,
To wash away tensions
Which pressures have wrought.
For in times of stillness
We start to see clearer.
Our vision is opened
As though in a mirror.
And quietly we are
Refreshed and renewed.
And stillness becomes
A blessed interlude.
"Be still, and know that I am God..."
Psalm 46:10 KJV
