[SPEAKER_00]: Create a Lord as stillness within me. [SPEAKER_00]: Father, calm my senses. [SPEAKER_00]: Remove the shell and closing my shoulders. [SPEAKER_00]: Open the space inside my chest. [SPEAKER_00]: Build my lungs with a full deep breath. [SPEAKER_00]: From your lips to mine, widen the constricted places. [SPEAKER_00]: Remind me, Father, of the palace that you are creating within me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like CS Lewis once wrote, you saw you were being made into a decent little cottage, but he is building a palace. [SPEAKER_00]: He intends to come and live in it himself. [SPEAKER_00]: This place of freedom you're building is ours to share together. [SPEAKER_00]: So Lord, let us mend the tables. [SPEAKER_00]: Let us uproot the weeds and open the gates. [SPEAKER_00]: Sit with me, oh Lord, in this open space. [SPEAKER_00]: Recline with me at the table.
[SPEAKER_00]: Dine with me in the garden. [SPEAKER_00]: Here in your love, I flourish. [SPEAKER_00]: Your love comforts and nourishes me. [SPEAKER_00]: your spirit is my palace. [SPEAKER_00]: You are my safe place. [SPEAKER_00]: When my soul searches for rest, pick me up by their hold me like a child, alive and breathing fully, lead me to recline. [SPEAKER_00]: Draw my face to yours and breathe life into my lungs. [SPEAKER_00]: Your tender love allows me to release all anxiety.
[SPEAKER_00]: You are my safe place, Lord. [SPEAKER_00]: Blessed are you, Father, who seeks me and knows me. [SPEAKER_00]: Who holds me when I'm weak, holding hands with my Father, I have no need to fear. [SPEAKER_00]: The reassuring sensation of your hand in mind gives me the courage I need to move forward. [SPEAKER_00]: When I'd rather slink back from the challenge, you give me the courage to wake up, put my house in order and live fully alive.
[SPEAKER_00]: Open my ears to hear the truth, flush out the lies that shut me down, so that I may discern your voice. [SPEAKER_00]: I am seen, I am loved, I am safe, I am free, I am whole, I am everything I need to be, I am your child and I am assured in your love. [SPEAKER_00]: You loving Father, keep me, provide for me, and have my best interest at heart. [SPEAKER_00]: even when my emotions tell me otherwise.
[SPEAKER_00]: When I'm overcome by fear and doubt sets in, when this anxiety lingers still, when this world is shaken and calamity crashes on the shore, I will remind my heart of these great things of your steadfast love and all that it means. [SPEAKER_00]: Glory be unto you, my God and my Father. [SPEAKER_00]: Glory in these healing waters. [SPEAKER_00]: Glory in these still small places. [SPEAKER_00]: Glory be unto you, always Lord. [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
