Solitude
Be still and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.
--Psalm 46: 10
This whole idea of solitude and stillness can be a little overdone, can’t it? I don’t think so! In times of solitude it is important to focus on “centering of self” and to concentrate on the stirrings within our own soul. To be anchored within is important—when we are anchored, we don’t drift as we work on the things that need to be done.
Take time to center yourself today. When centered remember those who are in difficult places:
• The thousands and thousands who are displaced by Hurricane Ike.
• Those who will face hardships whether because of the hurricane or because they will receive other unsettling news today.
May your time of solitude be spent doing what you need to do. Have a good day.
A prayer: God, help me in my relative ease to always remember those who are uneasy. Amen.
