Six minutes of Stillness

[00:00:04] Hello, dear one. [00:00:05] It's time for your quiet prayer. [00:00:12] I like to have you just now close your eyes, if you can think of them like two petals of a flower. [00:00:23] And just take a nice deep breath for this very short time, these few precious moments in stillness with God. [00:00:41] Oh, magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name together. [00:00:48] Psalm 34, verse 1. And let's magnify him by being still in his presence and watching in our hearts the greatness of God expand before us. [00:01:14] Take a nice deep breath from the bottom of your tummy and breathe out nice and slow. [00:01:26] Feel your shoulders relax and the muscles of your face relax. [00:01:41] I invite you to focus on your hands now and sense how they are just lying limp, doing nothing right now. [00:01:56] You have nothing to do. [00:02:00] You have nowhere to go. [00:02:05] No one needs you now. [00:02:08] And you need no one right now, beloved. You need nothing. [00:02:23] Just breathe in the stillness, the sweetness, the peace of God. [00:02:45] The peace of God floods through your entire body now like a gentle rolling river. From the very top of your head, down through your face that is at peace. [00:03:04] Your neck that is at peace. [00:03:07] Your shoulders that are at peace. [00:03:13] Spirit of the living God flows through your arms into those beautiful hands of yours, blessing your hands, blessing your arm, blessing your body, moving through your torso and down through your lower body. Your legs now sense the spirit of the living God moving through you, knees and ankles, feet and toes and your spine, your spine. I invite you to focus on the very tip of your spine. [00:04:04] We don't at the coccyx with your groin and your spine now behind you. You cannot see your spine, but it sees you. [00:04:15] The peace of God moving up, up. [00:04:23] And remaining right at the top of your sweethead. You are so lovely in his sight. [00:04:39] And he's telling you that he makes all things beautiful in its time, as he tells you in the book of Ecclesiastes. [00:04:52] I invite you now to remain in this moment of perfect submission to peace. [00:05:11] The peace of God that no one can really understand. [00:05:22] See yourself now living out the rest of the day or your evening in this space that you're in now. [00:05:38] Quietness and the presence of God, where you look at him and he looks at you and does a great work in you. [00:05:54] For the spirit of the Lord is good. [00:05:58] You are filled with goodness and goodness waits for you. [00:06:03] Goodness walks before you, and goodness and mercy follow you everywhere you go. [00:06:16] I invite you to open your heart now to that mercy and that peace. [00:06:32] There follows you that rests in your soul. [00:06:39] In the name of Jesus Christ, This is Marie Chapion, your friend. [00:06:53] And I'll see you on the next quiet Prayer.
