In the Silence

God’s voice came not in the earthquake’s roar, 
Nor in the howling wind or raging fire, 
But in the hush, the stillness deep and pure, 
Where hearts attuned could hear their soul’s desire.

Amid life’s clamor, let us listen well, 
For God speaks softly, whispers to our core, 
In moments when our strength begins to fail, 
Divine love wraps around us evermore.

Strong individuals, too, face moments weak, 
Their weary hearts seek solace in His might, 
And we, like them, can find the strength we seek, 
When weariness pervades our darkest night.

We play a role within God’s grand design, 
Passing the torch to others on life’s way, 
Equipping hearts to shine and souls to climb, 
Guided by love, we journey day by day.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
