Stillness: The perfect spiritual spot.

Psalm 23 in the Bible is the perfect picture of mental stillness. Click here to read my stillness blog.

The Eternal is my shepherd, He cares for me always.

He provides me rest in rich, green fields

   beside streams of refreshing water.

   He soothes my fears;

He makes me whole again,

   steering me off worn, hard paths

   to roads where truth and righteousness echo His name.

Even in the unending shadows of death’s darkness,

   I am not overcome by fear.

Because You are with me in those dark moments,

   near with Your protection and guidance,

   I am comforted.

You spread out a table before me,

   provisions in the midst of attack from my enemies;

You care for all my needs, anointing my head with soothing, fragrant oil,

   filling my cup again and again with Your grace.

Certainly Your faithful protection and loving provision will pursue me

   where I go, always, everywhere.

I will always be with the Eternal,

  in Your house forever.
