Peace, Be Still, And Know That I Am God
Through the ages these words have brought many a distraught individual a profound sense of comfort and tranquility.
Peace - simply saying this word floods our very souls and every nook and cranny of our being with the awareness that everything is going to be all right. Be still - an ancient directive to cease struggling or resisting and simply breathe in the soothing essences of mercy and compassion. And know - don’t wish or wonder or hope or believe or angst, just know. That I am - and because I am, you are. Because I am, everything exists. Because I am, all of creation has a rhyme and a reason. God - Spirit, Being, Mind, Lord, Creator, Intelligence. Simply invoking the sacred name of the One raises our vibratory level to higher and grander states of awareness.
What a powerful meditation to begin our day!
