Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For in You do I trust;
Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,
For I lift up my soul to You.
Psalm 143:8

 

Rain drops fall softly upon the dry earth reviving and refreshing the air.

 

Breezes blow softly, the wheat field waving at the sun.

 

And down a little ways from the mountain a steady stream of water flows clear and free.

 

In the morning the sun rises quietly in soft tones of pink, purple and orange. In the evening it sets bringing gasps of joy.

 

Nighttime falls, stars twinkle, the moon smiles full of mysterious glory.

 

Day by day mercies fall, grace is extended, His presence is given and we don’t even see it. Questioning if He’s really there or if He’s really listening—maybe He doesn’t really care.

 

Yet, creation shows us over and over and over again here He is!

 

 

In the stillness of the day
Lord, breathe Your breath on me
bring me comfort, bring me peace
whisper words of love serene.

 

In the stillness of the evening
Lord, show me where You’ve been
how You’ve worked wonders within
through thick and through thin.

In the stillness of the night
Lord, provide Your heavenly light
to my weary soul and heart
let me sleep deep knowing You are here.

 

In the stillness of the morning
Lord, remind me to put You first
in Your presence let me hide
safe all day may I abide.

 

In the stillness, in the quiet,
whether morning, noon, or night
Lord, breathe Your breath on me
may I hear each whisper that You speak.

O, Lord, don’t let me miss You. Don’t let me get so into my own life, my own self, that I have become convinced You aren’t there. Remind me to remember that You love me and that You care. You have promised to never leave us or forsake. O dear Lord, may we take time each day, morning, noon, and night to look for how You are filling each moment with You.

From My Heart to Yours,
Marcie
