Quietness
Isaiah 32:17
And the effect of righteousness will be peace,
and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever.
One of the most mind-boggling fruits of a life yielded to Christ is the ability to be at peace and to have a quite spirit in the midst of great turmoil and pain.
Peace and quietness stands in glaring contrast to a world ruled by chaos. Quietness shines like a brightly lit neon sign stuck smack dab in the middle of black nothingness. It draws others to itself like moths to a lit bulb. Quietness and peace boldly proclaim a message of hope to those who are being crushed under great burdens of grief, anxiety, fear, and guilt. Quietness meekly whispers, there is something bigger than your pain, and there is someone stronger than what afflicts your soul.
Today my husband I am praying that the power and strength of the Lord would anoint you as you relax and recover from a long week of stress, turmoil, and physical exhaustion. My prayer is that as He transforms and strengthens you with might in the inner depths of your heart, soul, mind, and spirit, that a 
quietness and confidence would shine loudly from your life. May you humbly seek His face, openly be weak in His presence, and allow His Joy to shine from your life. May your ability to be quiet in the face of turmoil, pain, weakness, and need be a bold and powerful testimony of His power and ability to redeem sinful man. May peace reign in your heart today my husband, may His righteousness be your confidence.
For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel,
“In returning and rest you shall be saved;
in quietness and in trust shall be your strength. “

Thank you for sharing your prayer for your husband. I am ending such a week and as I read your post, I took a long, deep breath and let go. Coming over from Still Saturday today.
Michelle, thank you so much for stopping by. I pray your Lords day is a special time of refreshment as you prepare for a next week.
Quietness is one of the most difficult challenges of my life. Rowdy surrounding people, roaring heart, piles of concern buried in me. YET!!!… HE provides quiet and peace with the touch of His hand. What a blessing.
Joanne, I know what you mean when you say roaring heart! Thanks for taking a moment out of your day to stop by. Blessings!
glad thanks for this nourishing beauty;
the wisdom washes over me
and I feel lighter
and I thank you that:)
