When the thoughts of despair overwhelm me
I must be still.
When the outcomes of very action and lack thereof point to doom
I must be still.
When I cannot believe what I know
I must be still.
While my heart races, and my body tenses
I must be still.
When it is heard to breathe
I must be still.
When my body fidgets, and my feet are restless
I must be still.
When only the Spirit prays in my favor, with groans too deep for words
I must be still
I must be still and know.
Know who You are. Know what You are. What You are like. What You have said. What You have done.
Know that You are God.
