Teach me Lord how to remain in You Teach me how to live abiding As I sit here, my heart reaches toward You My gaze is set on the Way But life doesn’t allow me to escape to the place of stillness Living in the day to day feels like a pilgrimage where my heart is set on the courts above but the demands of the day are like chords pulling me this way and that I want to be like a balloon that lifts above the fray A heart that knows the way of escape For in the stillness I find rest and in the duties of the day I get hurried and worried and rushed and pulled and frazzled and frantic and then I catch a glimpse of creation who remains still and silent beautiful, unhurried. And it pulls my heart back to desire - the inner tranquil state- where You reign. The exterior is noisy and it beckons me inward. How do I live inwardly in a place of calm, stillness, peace of heart. While outside is hectic, loud, and feels like a world that I am in but not a part. I struggle because repose of the soul is where I feel at home and this place is where I feel like I’m growing most. The more this place is watered the more and more it grows within me. Pulling me to stay. Keeping me tucked in on the inside. I turn inward and feel the kiss of peace upon me. May the inward life consume the outside. Grow within me, Holy Seed, of Christ’s life inside of me. Keep me holy. Keep me pure. Draw me in to know You more. Help me like a tender leaf to abide and remain ever in Thee. May Your life on the inside be what others see. It is not I but Christ in me. Fully have me. Take all. Christ in me the hope of glory. In every breath. Your love awakens me anew. You reside on the inside. Your breath my breath. Your eyes my eyes. Your words my words. Your touch my touch. My heart is set on pilgrimage. The pilgrimage within. You are found here. Holy is the Lord. He is not far. He is within. Calming Savior, You pervade me with love ceaseless love.
