Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” In my daily prayer and study time, I asked the Holy Spirit to reveal to me stillness.  Yes, He has told me to be still – and yet when I sometimes try, my mind can wonder in  a zillion different directions.

I was lead to focus on “eyes closed”.  This, of course, was not strange to me since I always pray with “eyes closed”.  But the Holy Spirit directly said to focus on eyes closed.  When I closed my eyes and started to focus on the idea of “eyes closed”my mind was not on self, but on the Holy Spirit’s direction.

I immediately found myself in His lap – a young girl filled with the excitement of sitting in her Father’s lap!  It brought a sense of joy and peace like I had not encountered in prayer for a very long time!  And then my Big Father with Big hands and loving arms began to speak.  Stillness!  Such a gift I was just given.

Take the time today to Be in His presence and enjoy the Stillness of “eyes closed”.  See the Father loving on you and filling you with so much more than all the zillions of thoughts can ever give!

Peace, be Still! Margi
