In the busyness of the Christmas season, it is easy to get
lost in the noise, the crossing of items off the “To Do” list, the last
cleaning of the house, and the mixing of the second-last batch of cookie dough.
It is easy to find ourselves so busy that we wonder “Why I am I going crazy?”
The ancients knew something we moderns could stop and
relearn:
“Be still, and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10
Over 3,000 years ago, the Psalmist wrote a song that
reminded his people that in the midst of the struggles and challenges of life
was a center that spoke peace to frazzled nerves. In this Christmas season take
some time to sit down and just breathe this simple prayer: God, you are here. I
am embraced by your love and peace. Hold me. Amen. – Ron Friesen
