Heavenly, Father, our hearts are lifted up to You even though we are having troubel raising our eyes and heads. The news, spouted by newscasters bring so much bad news: wars and rumors of wars, or the aftermath of the Afghanistan pullout, not to mention the continuing saga of COVID-19 and the vaccines (over which another type of war politicians seem bent upon) and the general populaces' reactions to it all, floods us with so much stress and distress.
We do not want to occupy ourselves so much with all this but it is all so much in our face. We need our souls quieted and calmed.
Spending time with You in the quietness of morning, listening to Your birds sing, chirp and warble, reading and meditating upon Your word, brings this stillness into our hearts and minds.
Like the psalmist of psalm 131 who learns this, and tells Israel his discovery, we put our hope in You - our sure and steadfast LORD. May each of Your children do so from this time forth and for evermore.
In Jesus' most precious Name we pray and find our solace.
