My Journey to God

Whisper—A Morning Prayer

Be still
My soul.
There is no place to go
Just yet.
Wait.

I will let stillness sit
Alongside me,
Allow it
To quiet
My mind,
To silence
My hands and feet.

And when I feel peace
Brush softly across my face,
I will rise,
Walk into the day,
Complete
And
Filled
With God.
