Quiet My Heart, Lord

Quiet my heart, Lord,
and show me a Christmas
as peaceful and calm as
an old cattle shed…

Slow down my pace, Lord,
and help me seek Jesus,
the Son of Your Love,
in a humble straw bed…

Steady my spirit, Lord,
call me from chaos
in simple surrender
to pray and rejoice…

Breakthrough the busy,
too-bright celebration,
and whisper your message,
“Be still…hear my voice…”

Meditation: Be still, and know that I am God… – Psalm 46:10

And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. – 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

You will succeed in Jesus Name!
