As I sit before You, surrounded by your presence, your peace is my constant. I struggle to stay focused as thoughts crowd my mind. My flesh wants to get up and do something – anything except sit still and listen to Your voice. I take a deep breath and resolve to stay put. I resolve I will not move until you speak.
I drift like a rowboat in calm waters with no destination. I linger in the stillness as the thoughts cease and the cobwebs clear and the concerns fade away. The sweetness of your Spirit invades me and links with my spirit. Your peace and I are one. You say, “come”. Then suddenly, there is a letting go of all that weighed me down and kept me down. Now I can rise again!
