30 Days of Praise Day 20 - Stillness


Father, I praise You for this time of stillness during the coronavirus quarantine. Being still has been a blessing in so many ways.  I've had some sweet times on my porch and in my prayer place.  Your Word has been an encouragement and You've shown me things no one can take away from me.

I've had phone calls with friends and family that I haven't talked to in ages.  Ordinarily, I'm too busy for long conversations.  Thank You for this blessing, Father.

I praise You for my dear, wonderful husband.  I couldn't have a better companion for this quarantine.  He makes me laugh every day, and we've enjoyed being together - taking rides, watching birds, and puttering in the garden.  We've done things we're usually too busy to do.  Having this time of stillness has given us more sweet prayer times together, too.  I've enjoyed riding in the car, listening to music, and giving You praise for the blessings in our lives.

Thank You for giving us this sweet time of stillness together and with You.



I hope you'll leave a word of praise for our Heavenly Father in the comments below - even if it's just one word - Haleluyah!  Let's praise Him together every day during April.

30 Days of Praise - Day 4 - Stillness



I praise You, Father,  for this stay-at-home season due to the virus.  It's like a prolonged Sabbath.  Less busyness. More rest.  More being still.  I like that.  I praise You that I don't hear cars and big trucks on the expressway nearby.  I love hearing children playing in the yards around us.  I love seeing parents walking with their children.  I praise You that good is coming out of this pandemic.

I praise You that I can sit on my back porch and see the glory of all the beauty You've created for my pleasure.  This view from my rocking chair always lifts my spirits. And I praise You for my dear husband who keeps it looking so pretty.  I praise You that we got to spend our Sabbath here today talking, praying and reading Your Word.  It was a very special Sabbath. 



I praise You for the birds singing, the butterflies and bees doing their pollinating, and the flowers enjoying the sun and warm breezes of this beauty-full day.  All the beauty fills me with awe and I have to say Haleluyah and give You glory!



I am so blessed to call You my Father.
