Peaceful stillness is my natural state.
On
a quiet morning, when the wind is calm, a mountain lake is still and
serene. Calm is the natural state of the waters just as peaceful
stillness is my natural state of being. If I feel agitated by
conditions in the outer world, I remember that beyond the waves of
anxiety or doubt, there is a reservoir of peace. I may not be able
to quiet the activity of others, but I can quiet my own. I slow down
and take a meditative pause. I inhale and exhale with the intention of
soothing my state of mind. I don’t deny difficulty, but I aim to address
it with calm serenity. I return to my natural state of inner
stillness. True peace is found within me. I allow that peace to guide my
words and actions.
He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.—Psalm 107:29
