And now, dear Lord, I acknowledge afresh that You are the God of all peace, my Jehovah-Shalom. My job is to receive. you give me Your peace. My job is to take it. You lead me to Your still waters. My role is to follow. You extend Your hand. My role is to take hold. My I enjoy Your presence and the tranquility of the still waters where You pour out your promise of peace. Amen. Elizabeth George
About This Quote

In the past, when I was in a quandary, I would pray. "Lord, I know You are good. So just direct me to the way out of this problem." In my prayer, God didn't tell me what to do or how to do it. He doesn't have to since my role is to receive what is being given to me along with His peace and tranquility. But when I received the peace and tranquility of the still waters, my role in receiving it was no longer in doubt.
