"Go, my people, enter your chambers, and close the doors behind you; Hide yourselves for a brief moment, until the wrath is past." Isaiah 26:20
Isaiah 26:20-21 Change. The night of the passover, God's people went behind closed doors as God's wrath passed by. Noah and his family went behind closed doors as God washed the earth and protected them. When they came out of their homes, everything had changed, life was not the same. We too have been told to stay home, be safe until the wrath has passed. We too are experiencing new life when we came out, life is different. Do we heed these warnings and see God at work in our lives or do we try and go back to what was normal? God seeks our attention in these moments, He desires a deeper relationship so when these events happen, we do not fear but recognize the new life that is coming. God does not forsake us during these times, His hope is that we sit still and listen as the world that controls our life is quieted, then He can be heard for the journey ahead and the new life that awaits. If we are willing to change.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b

What is God saying to me: There is safety in familiar surroundings and quiet confidence when we sit in the stillness and listen. This is where My Peace is heard.
Dear Lord God, You always find a way to speak to my heart even when it doesn't seem possible. I thank You for the stillness in our quiet place, where we can sit and listen to each other. Prayers for a friend feeling discomfort, You are making all things new. As we go into the world today, may we take You with us Lord and not leave this place of comfort. Blessings upon this day and what it has to hold for each of us, in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Souls, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
