Reading Time: < 1 minuteThe Quiet Hour
Psalm 46:10
It is morning when I close the door
to this private place where I’ve been before,
seeking courage to face life’s din.
The sun peeks through into the room
chasing away night with all its gloom
warming my soul within.
I open God’s Word, then silently wait
until I am assured that He alone is great.
Full of power and might.
He controls everything in this world I am in,
my money, my health, even wayward kin.
It’s all within His sight.
I bask in His presence, sense His loving smile,
feel strength returning to walk another mile,
whatever this day may bring.
Confidence and peace flow into my heart,
reminding me God provides a new start.
I rise to my feet and sing.
