Father, You continue to reveal the depth and width of my anger at all the wrong that is around me. But a turbulent spirit cannot be restful before You. A fiery heart cannot hear or speak the gentle whisper of Your Holy Spirit.

Thank You that You guide me back to an authentic place of quiet. And no matter how many times I run off to my own land of disbelief, anger, hurt, self justification, plans…You remain truly The Longsuffering Shepherd that firmly but tenderly extends Your Rod and Staff to bring back this wandering lamb to Your Safe Pasture.

There are not big enough words to thank You.

Isaiah 30:15 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, “In returning and rest you shall be saved, in quietness and trust shall be your strength”.
