\nInner Peace\n

I feel the peace of Spirit in this moment.\nI take a few moments of rest from all activities--from thinking and talking, looking and doing--and become still. I let go of any expectations of what I should feel or do. The less I focus on myself and my surroundings, the more at peace I am.\nAs I maintain awareness of the present moment, there are no concerns to distract me, no disruptions to my time alone with God. I rest in the silence. Serenity washes over me, relaxing the muscles in my body. All tension is released.\nThe peace I experience in the quiet of this sacred moment brings respite and renewal, for great strength flows from the peace of God within.\n

\"The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.\"--Numbers 6:26
