Praise God for stillness

– for the quietness within
with which I hear You speak –
not audibly so much as
inner knowing,
a silent word reassuring me
of Your presence,
guiding, comforting,
quieting my soul to hear, to
heed, to follow
Your leading in my life –
unending inhalation
of Your inaudible breath.
