"Be Still"
by Rebecca St. James
Alone in the valley
I cried for You to fill me
withYour peace
So when the lightning strikes
thunder rolls around me
Still I live in peace
You ask that I...
Be still and knowYou are God
You are God...
When the fires rage
When the storm surrounds me
Still I live in peace
Though the mountains fall
Crash into the ocean
Still I live in peace
You ask that I...
Be still and knowYou are God
Lead me through the valley
Lead me by the streams
Restore me and draw me to You God
To You I lift my soul
To You who makes me whole
Gently You hold me close to You
You're near me
You love me
You hold me
You reach me
You steal me
You move me
You draw me to You God
The words of Psalm 46 have been resonating in my mind in the past few days. I have been reminded over and over again with these words and the incredible love and strong embrace of the arms of God. I need to stop, breathe and rest for a moment. I have been so caught up in my health that I have lost focus. I am not in control - I was never supposed to be. God is the one who is in control, but that concept has seemed to escape me lately. My prayer is that I can relinquish my need for control and the need to understand and embrace the peace and love of God.

What a fabulous reminder for all of us...it's so easy to try and take control back when things don't go how we want them to. Thanks for those words, friend.
Looking forward to hearing how it goes with the naturopath.
