Be still, and know that I am God
– Psalm 46:10
How does God* speak to you? I don’t know about you, but for me God speaks to me in a small still voice. If my life is loud and dramatic (mentally, emotionally, physically) I can’t hear Him*. I need to still my mind and its very loud inner critic. I need to still my emotions – what can I do to soften my heart and be more loving. I need to still my body – I need to be comfortable in my body and to just be.
Being is a state that is not familiar with many of us. Be gentle with yourself. Have the courage to be. To be in this moment. Accept reality for what it is, because when I try to refute reality I will always lose. Accept the moment for what it is. Invite the God of your understanding into the present moment with you. The more you invite Him in, the closer and more loving your relationship with Him will be.
God – God as you understand Him. God comes in many forms: Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Universal Love, Universal Truth, Nature in all its Glory. Don’t get hung up on the word or the concept. Just admit and accept that there is a power greater than you.
Him – I refer to my higher power as He because that is the language of the faith tradition I was raised in. I’m not trying to impose that language onto you. The words that I choose are mine, if you don’t like them, change them into words that are acceptable to you.
