Settling Into God

A Poem: My Soul Settles

My soul settles
Into the safety
Of your presence.
My soul sinks
Into the steadfastness
Of your love.
My soul stands
In the security
Of your grace.
My soul rests
In the reality
Of your strength.
My soul longs
For more of you,
Everlasting,
All present,
Lover of my soul.

A Prayer: I Greet This Day

Lord, I greet this day
Expectant of
Your love
Your grace
Your guidance
Your discipline

Lord, I greet this day
With hope
With joy
With peace
With gratitude

Lord, I greet this ordinary day
You have created
For me to worship you.

A Passage: For Refection

Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.
— Psalm 5:3 NLT
