"...Peace.. be still.."

"Peace
came as suddenly today
as the storm came
a day ago.
My soul was drenched
in wind and rain
frozen in fear
that fell like snow.
Then all was still.
Had someone prayed?
I do not know."
(Taken from "Clouds are the Dust of His Feet" 
by Ruth Bell Graham)

"Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm."
Mark 4:39 (NKJV)

 

Praying for all in Nice, France. Peace in all seasons of this trial and hard time.

"......For the Lord has comforted his people,

    and will have compassion on his suffering ones."
Isaiah 49:13 (NRSV)
