Be still…

Not a problem. I don’t mean to brag, but I’m really good at being still. It’s practically a superpower for me. I can spend hours being still. I only move to turn pages in my book or maybe reach the remote control. My hands might move just enough to knit a little, but I promise that is as un-still as I get. I am so good, in fact, that –

What about my country? What about my state and city and friends? What about my children? So many things seem not okay right now. How do I know that everything is –

Be still and know that I am God.

I just want to know. I just want to know that everything will be okay.

Shh…be still. All will be well. I am God.
