Quiet Me, Lord – Lectio Divina

June 12, 2011 By Jean Wise


Quiet me with Your love.  Zephaniah 3:17


Quiet me.
Quiet me with Your love, Lord.
Let me rest in Your strong, yet gentle arms.
What a prayer to breathe in and out throughout the day. 
Quiet me with Your love, Lord.
When the noise of the world blares, calm me with tender compassion.
When I am tossed and turned by my own self-doubt and misdirections, I return once again to You – where You dwell in peaceful silence.
When the toddler that still lives deep inside me, throws a tantrum when things don’t go my way or I hit disappointment at every turn, take me in Your arms and comfort me, Lord.
Quiet me, Lord so I can hear You and know You better.
Only You can I find true peace.
Only You can I experience love.
Only You, Lord.
Quiet me with Your love, Lord.

    Oh, wow. What a beautiful verse. One I might gloss over until you break it down like that. Yes, a perfect prayer. Thank you!

    Reading this makes me feel calm, quieted, Jeanie. Nice.

    I love that His love quiets us. Neat, neat concept.

    Big deep breath, and an audible sigh-yes! That’s it, Jeanie, what I need.
