Quiet Me, Lord – Lectio Divina



Quiet me with Your love.  Zephaniah 3:17



Quiet me.

Quiet me with Your love, Lord.

Let me rest in Your strong, yet gentle arms.

What a prayer to breathe in and out throughout the day. 

Quiet me with Your love, Lord.

When the noise of the world blares, calm me with tender compassion.

When I am tossed and turned by my own self-doubt and misdirections, I return once again to You – where You dwell in peaceful silence.

When the toddler that still lives deep inside me, throws a tantrum when things don’t go my way or I hit disappointment at every turn, take me in Your arms and comfort me, Lord.

Quiet me, Lord so I can hear You and know You better.

Only You can I find true peace.

Only You can I experience love.

Only You, Lord.

Quiet me with Your love, Lord.

Big deep breath, and an audible sigh-yes! That's it, Jeanie, what I need.

Reading this makes me feel calm, quieted, Jeanie. Nice.

I love that His love quiets us. Neat, neat concept.
