“My heart is not proud, O Lord, my eyes are not haughty.

I do not concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me.

But I have stilled and quieted my soul;

like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.”

Psalm 131

Being peaceful and calm is never easy when your mind is spinning and thinking and pushing…

There’s always that first reaction … to panic…

Too overthink, and even agonize…  I know that’s my first reaction too!  especially when I don’t understand the whys  and whats of what’s going on around me..

I was imaging this picture of a child in his momma’s arms… being weened, feeling the desire to nurse, maybe feeling rejected and scared…  yet His Mother is right there… Holding him close, the child is not understanding, but he’s being soothed and comforted by His mother’s arms.  He feels the comfort and  warmth of her chest… her heartbeat.. and the strength of her love.

He is supported and protected in his Mother’s loving arms, She is holding him tight…

He’s trusting her… connected to her.  Calmed by her.

That is the same with us…

Dear Jesus,

I am not proud, our eyes are not haughty…

I will not concern myself with great matters, or things too wonderful for me…

Thank you for quieting my soul…

Thank you for the stillness of your presence that covers and holds me… soothes and calms me…

I will keep my trust in you, and not lean on my own understanding…

For I know your ways are perfect…

May my life be a sweet fragrance unto you my Lord, and my King…

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa
