My mentor, Elisabeth Elliot, wrote,
"Today is moving day. There will be plenty of reason for fretting and stewing, impatience, and turbulence. I am one who seems to feel that unless I do things or unless they are done my way, they will not be done right, and the day will disintegrate. But I have been watching the sea--very turbulent this morning because of a tropical storm hundreds of miles away--and I remember Him whose word was enough to calm it.
Speak that word to me today, dear Lord: peace. Let your calm spirit, through the many potentially rough minutes of this day, in every task, say to my soul, Be still. Even this day's chaos, with all its clutter and exertion, will be ordered by your quiet power if my heart is subject to your word of peace. Thank You, Lord."
And that's how I feel today. There is so much going on. So much mixed feelings and thoughts. So much worry and overwhelmingness. But my sweet Jesus can calm the raging storm that thunders through my heart and mind today. Be still. Be still little one. Cling to Me. I am your Rock. I am your Comforter. I am the One who answers prayers. I am the One who guides/leads you. Be still and know that I am GOD! I am the Almighty God.
