As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking of a phrase that Jesus said in Mark 4:39, “PEACE, BE STILL.”Sometimes people think that self-talk is not good. I think it is essential!  Everybody thinks too much and about too many things. When we’re thinking all the time, it’s hard to live in the present moment, and the words, “PEACE, BE STILL” need to be repeated. Just as Jesus calmed the wind and the sea with the words, “PEACE, BE STILL” HE does the same with the worry, anxiety, and frustration we experience. 

When we are STILL, our senses are stronger.  We become more aware of the sounds of creation, the smells and the sights of miracles unfolding every moment. Saint Francis of Assisi learned this in his lifetime. It allowed him to experience God in the city, in the mountains, in creation, wherever life took him.  

Today, repeat those words often as you go about your day. Speak to yourself the healing words of Christ,“ PEACE, BE STILL“.  

And have a blessed day!

As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking of the phrase that Jesus said in Mark 4:39, “PEACE; BE STILL”. Sometimes we need to quit thinking and just be still. Sometimes we need to just tell ourselves to be still. Everybody thinks too much and about too many things. When we’re thinking all the time, it’s hard to live in the present moment and the words, “PEACE” and “STILL”, need to be repeated.
