Be still and listen


"The word listen contains the same letters
as the word silent."
- Alfred Brendel

Be still, and in the quiet moments,
listen to the voice of your heavenly Father.
His words can renew your spirit.
No one knows you and your needs like He does.
- Janet L. Weaver

"Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the LORD."
Psalm 27:14

God, my Father, teach me to listen in silence.
Give that I let others pronounce,
and that I know to turn around my tongue a few times
before my response.
Give also that in the moments of silence
I always know how to find You
and let me hear Your Voice and understand it.

Life is like a ten-speed bike.


"Life is like a ten-speed bike. Most of us have gears we never use."
- Charles M. Schultz

Do More

"Do more than exist ... live.
Do more than touch ... feel.
Do more than look ... observe.
Do more than read ... absorb.
Do more than hear ... listen.
Do more than think ... ponder.
Do more than talk ... say something."
- John H. Rhoades

"To do righteousness and justice is more
acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice."
Proverbs 21:3

"Jesus replied:
"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'

This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
Matthew 22:37-39

Lord let me win the race of this life
and give that I use the correct gears to my goal.
Give me enough inspiration, strength and love for people, animals and plants around me
to treat them with goodness and glory of your name.
