"Be still
    and know that I am God."

Sit in silence
    and know that I am God.
Quiet your mind
    and know that I am God.
Stop your restless rumination and internal, verbal regurgitation
    and know that I am God.
Stop throwing words at me
    and know that I am God.
For heaven's sake, shut up
    and know that I am God.

Set aside your ego
    and know that I am God.
Release the need to be right
    and know that I am God.
Empty yourself
    and know that I am God.

Make space for me
    and know that I am God.
Welcome stillness
    and know that I am God.
Embrace quiet
    and know that I am God.

Be still
    and know that I am God.
Simply be
    and know that I am God.

Today, now
    be still.
