Be silent before the Sovereign Lord (Zephaniah 1:7; NIV).
Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole earth with fruit! (Isaiah 27:6; NLT).
Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles (Isaiah 40:31; NIV).
I am like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child I am content
(Psalm 131:2; NIV).
***************************************
Lord, when I sit
In silent contemplation
May I open my heart to you,
Like a budding rose;
Entrust my life to you,
Like a soaring bird;
And yield my soul to you,
Like a resting child.
