Guidance

 

I am guided by the still small voice within.

When I am seeking guidance, I sometimes need only a nudge in the right direction. At other times, I may feel lost, with no idea where to go. However great the need, I seek guidance by setting aside distracting activities and quieting scattered thoughts. I move into the stillness and turn my attention inward. Focusing on my breath or gentle music, I become calm and receptive.
In the still, open space of possibilities, I listen. If my mind races, I calm it by saying, “Peace, be still.” I wait with gentle expectancy, assured of God’s presence. In the stillness, my guidance is clear. I am at peace and confident as I move forward.

Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom for the future. —Proverbs 19:20
