A quiet trust

A quiet trust



Do you know of a quiet trust, one that some has learnt to have with our God?

When life becomes so much of a struggle that your will is broken beyond redemption and you say, "LORD, save me, for I am nothing." From then, you silently remain in the same struggle and see from the limitations of your mind hte vastness of God Almighty, as He gently guides you out of the darkness bt the hand.

When you have truly known the LORD God enough to know your place in His presence. And how much of a privilege it is to be a child of the Most High God! Thus overflowing from our hearts, through an attitude of reverence and awe in knowing Him, this intense quietness of our lips and deep longing from our hearts to listen to Him comes.

Do you know of a quiet trust, one that some has learnt to have with our God?



A Prayer:

LORD, teach us to learn to submit to You in the many areas of our lives we have always struggled with, and teach us what it truly means to have reverence for You our God and King.

the work of your fingers,

and crowned him with glory and honor."
