By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Let us then labor for an inward stillness,
An inward stillness and an inward healing,
That perfect silence where lips and heart
Are still, and we no longer entertain
Our own imperfect thought and vain opinions,
But God alone speaks in us, and we wait
In singleness of heart, that we may know
His will, and in the silence of our spirits,
We may do his will and do that only!
I'm thankful for God's help in my labor to be still today. I'm still squirming a bit, but at least I'm no longer chasing my own tail.
I love this :) Thank you for sharing! This is what I am working towards as well. Hugs to your Victory. You're in my thoughts and prayers!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard this before, and I love it. I am going to print this out and stick it on my wall.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this- I love this so much! And since I've been an anxious mess this week, the idea of stillness sounds SO appealing. Literally, I want to cry with hope and joy at the thought of having this be my reality!
