“Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have relieved me in my distress; Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.” Psalm 4:1
I normally enter into The Stillness immediately following my morning prayer routine. While personal obligations and responsibilities sometimes prevent me from spending time in The Stillness, I do spend time every day with Our Lord in His Word and in prayer. If we are honest, most of us bring our personal agenda, or our list of needs, wants, and desires before Our Lord when we pray. We may often ask for solutions to our problems and then head out for the day. When we do this we miss something important. We miss the grace of His relief. In His relief we experience complete renewal and we can go forward to meet our day.
The following is an entry from Journey Through The Stillness that fully explains…
August 12, 2010 – Today it is Jesus as I have known Him from the very beginning, my heavily robed, Jesus. He takes me onto His lap where I can lean my head and rest on His shoulder. As I do, I am going through my list of issues, my concerns, my perceived problems, and they are many. As I do this, one by one they melt away. Whether they are about my body, my health, my emotional hurts, my to do list, my inadequacies, my failures, my faults, my sins, my hopes and fears about myself or my loved ones and friends, one by one they slough off to the floor and I am empty. And then He fills me. He fills me with His compassion, His comfort, His peace, His joy, His love. Now I am going through a quite different list. It is one of blessings, of hopes and desires fulfilled, of gifts of love received, of security, of faith. And when I rise from His lap, I am lifting up thoughts and praises of thanksgiving. I am strong and the world waits. I am ready to go forth with Him at my side, with Him IN me, for I am in Him and He is in me.
