Dear God,
Help me to be still, be still and KNOW that YOU are God, you are MY God (Psalm 46:10) . Thank you so much that I can come boldly to your throne of grace, to obtain mercy and find help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16) How quickly I can freak out, jump to conclusions and not remember to be still, to hit my knees and search for you and your will for me. When will I ever learn this lesson? To cry out to you, and only you first and foremost, then and ONLY then to seek wise counsel that you have set before me. You have never let me down, been unfaithful, lead me in the wrong direction, yet still I let little things shake me up. But you Lord are my rock and my salvation, everlasting, strong, my foundation, my strength, you have never failed me. I choose to walk in that freedom, I know you are faithful, I know you are sovereign, and all things work for good for those that love God and are called according to YOUR purpose. Help me to honor you in all that I do and think, regardless of where I am at Lord. Help me to wait on you, to delight in you so that YOUR desires will burn in my heart. Not my own imperfect and selfish ones. Thank you so much for peace that surpasses all understanding, I am overwhelmed by it and it floods my heart, thank you that I am able to rest in you.
I love you

I have been praying this with you tonight. Listening over and over to Steven Curtis sing it, and asking the Lord to work it into my heart...to be still and know that HE is GOD! Listening to song after song filled with Truth reminding me of His grace. How we need it for each and every day, don't we?
