I prayed. I sighed. I prayed. I cried.
Then I asked some friends to pray for me, to lift me before the Father so I could accomplish what was before me. Almost immediately my spirit began to settle down. My mind ceased its racing. I closed my eyes and spoke the Name of Jesus.
Jesus ... softer still ... Jesus.
He quieted me with His love. In my spirit I felt the Lord prompt me to go to my blog archives. Go to May of last year, He said. So I did.
And this is where my eyes landed. "Be Still." Written on May 27, 2014. Its message is timeless. Its message ministered to me tonight and I pray it will minister once again to you.
~ Be Still ~
I rocked back and forth on the porch swing, the simple rhythm soothing my spirit, refreshing my tired body. I closed my eyes and thought about the Lord.
You are wonderful, Lord. Your love embraces me
with a comforting warmth. I'm so thankful for You.
I sat quietly, closed my eyes, and steadied my heart. A sweet breeze kicked up, rustling the wind chimes, sending them into song. A celestial melody filled the air. The cardinal chirping in a wild cherry across the way joined in. Out back a woodpecker drummed on our apple tree, adding percussion to the symphony. I'm certain the strings section buzzed in and out of my irises. Oh my! What a heavenly chorus of praise to the Creator.
I could sense His lovely Presence surrounding me.
Because of Jesus, we can know our God. We can know His voice and His love. Isn't that amazing? What love is this that we can walk with the Creator of the Universe? What love, indeed!
I kept my eyes closed and listened to nature's song of praise. In the quiet of the moment I heard Him whisper, "Be still and know that I am God."*
Be still. Cease striving. Rest in His lovely Presence.
*Psalm 46:10

A Tweetable to Encourage Others
*******************************************
I've created a community page on facebook where we can gather to be encouraged in the Lord. Seeing Beyond the Veil is a place where you can slip away for a few moments and be reminded of God's faithfulness, His mercy, and His grace.
You'll find inspirational quotes, praise songs, testimonies. If you have a prayer request or a burden you can leave it on the page to receive prayer or private message me.
Please join me and share with a friend who may be going through a tough time. Click here if you want to visit. Please "like" it, if you do, to help spread the word. Thank you so much.
