Quietness and Trust

Sit. Or lie down. Whatever the body needs.

Read the verse twice. In returning and rest. In quietness and in trust.

The verse is not asking you to be loud in your faith. It is asking you to be still in it. To let the strength come from somewhere other than your own effort.

Notice how much of your day is a kind of striving. A doing. A making-it-happen. The verse is offering a different way: in returning, in rest, in quietness, in trust.

Let the breath slow. Let the body remember that strength is not always in the muscles. Sometimes it is in the willingness to be held.

Carry this with you today. The quiet way. The trust way.
