A Prayer of Stillness and Knowing
Guiding Prayer
I pause. I breathe. I turn inward to the quiet space where Truth resides.
To be still is not to do nothing—it is to release the need to struggle, to let go of the noise
that clouds my mind, and to settle into the deep presence of God within me. To be still is to
listen, to trust, to rest in the knowing that I am already held, already guided, already whole.
In this sacred stillness, I remember that I am not alone. God is here—not as a distant
presence, but as the very life within me. God is the love that heals, the wisdom that
clari es, the substance that sustains. I do not need to reach for what is already mine. I do
not need to fear when divine truth is my foundation.
So, I surrender my thoughts of lack and the weight of uncertainty. I open my heart to
the quiet assurance that all I need is here. e answers unfold in divine timing. e path
reveals itself in perfect order. ere is no rush, only trust. No force, only faith.
I rise from this moment not with the urgency of the world but with the peace of
knowing. I move forward with con dence, anchored in the stillness that speaks
beyond words. I carry this presence with me into all that I do, allowing it to shape my
thoughts, my words, and my actions.
I am still. And I know. Amen.
