Be still

   and know that I am God.

              Psalm 46. 10

(And we are not.

In what are we submitting to Him?

In what are we trying to

     tell Him what to do?

Are we grabbing God

               like carry-out?

Or being still

          even in this moment,

 listen and respond,

   as He reveals Himself to us?)

O LORD,

Help us to come before You

and not attempt

     to take Your rightful place.

Guide us into this day

    with all the choices we make,

    with all the decisions

             surging upon us,

that we would bring You glory

    in all

    and whatever we do.

We are anointed

            and appointed by You.

Help us to have a still heart,

   knowing that You are God.

Order my day.

Guide my steps.

Direct my thoughts.

Align my heart with Yours.

And confirm Your Word in me.
