Katie's prayer: Mercy Me's "Word of God Speak"

Tonight, I was lucky enough to go to Adoration. About half way through, the musician paused for some quiet time. My brain decided it was a good time to pray the song of the day. So I started singing in my head this song. I got through verse one and part of the refrain and then I couldn’t remember anymore. Which is stupid, because between all of the versions I have of this song, I’ve heard it at least 300 times! So I started again from the beginning. Verse one half of the refrain then nothin. I decided to start from the beginning of the refrain, got half way through then I couldn’t recall. It was starting to get frustrating at this point. I continued trying to come up with what came next. After trying probably about a dozen more times, it finally came to me...

To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak

To be still and know - frantically trying to figure out the other half of a refrain that I’ve heard 300 times... not really being still, not really resting in God’s holiness, not really allowing time or room for God to speak to me. So I immediately gave up on trying to remember the rest of the song and instead tried to just be still and rest in the presence of God. Let me tell you, with my spiritual-ADD, this didn’t last long. But for the rest of the time, I kept trying. I didn’t give up. And I did have some very wonderful moments where it was just me and God - not talking, no complaining, no requests, just being. And it was amazing. I need to remind myself more often to have moments like tonight.
