Selah, Be Still and Know

Be still and know
God’s Spirit shows
us where to go
Selah. Be still and know.

We talk too much
Spirit, nonesuch,
leads with soft touch
when we’re talking too much.

God is still near
when we can’t hear
lost in our fear
have faith, God is still near.

Peace be still, words
from my Shepherd
my heart was stirred
Peace, be still, all I heard.

God's still small voice
hearing? our choice,
Selah. Rejoice
heeding God's still small voice.

inspired by the thoughts of Linda Bishop
in her story, God Knows Where I Am

Thanks, Andrea, peace is fairly relative depending on one's faith concerning predicaments. Congratulations on your own depiction of Craig Cornish's prompt.
