I wait for the stillness,
as I silently pray
I wait for the Lord
to come and enter my day.
I expect Him to draw near,
and bring me His strength
I expect Him to go with me
the full course and length.
I depend on my God,
to give me His lasting power
I depend on Him to help me
no matter the hour.
I trust in my Rock,
to defend and protect me
I trust He is my shelter
from every storm at sea.
I believe He is my Lord,
my salvation, my peace
I believe He is right here
standing within my reach.
I know that alone,
He is all that I need
I know He will guide me
and His Spirit will lead!

Psalm 62:5
King James Version
“My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my expectation is from Him.”

My favorite stanza:
I expect Him to draw near,
and bring me His strength
I expect Him to go with me
the full course and length
I love His ‘staying’ power!
Thanks.

I like that I can expect Him, not wish, not think, not wonder but EXPECT Him to be with me. Yes, His staying power is always there for me . . . even when I come unglued! ~ Blessings ~

Yes, I wish I could just press enter and receive my daily dose of peace, but not so simple. I have to seek it through prayer and my faith in Him in all things! ~ Blessings ~
