Still.

In these moments, I must be still.

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.
