"Be Still and Know That I Am God"

I am the God of the storm.
I created thunder and lightning, wind and rain.
My feet are planted on the dark clouds

     that are rolling into your life,

     threatening to engulf you.
Even though your grasp slips from the guide wheel
     and you find the anchor about to come loose and set you adrift,
I am there, controlling the height of the waves

     and the fierceness of the wind.
I will not permit them to dash you upon the rocks.

I am the God of the darkness.
I created night and day; they are alike to Me.
My eyes pierce through the inky blackness

     that surrounds you so thickly you can feel it press

     the very breath from you.
In that darkness, be still—
The heartbeat that you hear is Mine.

I am the God of emptiness.
I created the vast reach of space out beyond
     the little planet that is familiar to you,
And I know that it is far from empty.
I inhabit the aching emptiness of your longings,
     your unfulfilled dreams,
     the rising and falling of your hopes.
Your emptiness is pregnant with what is yet to be,
For I spoke, and out of the emptiness
     there came into being all that is.
One day again, I will speak.
