Be Still
Wars, conflict, loss, but be still and find Him.15 total reviews

I liked how you juxtaposed these images of struggle in the war with the words 'Be still' from Christ. It really underscores the sense that he is our deliverer from evil. We have to trust in him to escape the reality of our man made hell. estory

Comment from Wendy G
Well written. yes, in the midst of everything, we do need this reminder. in Him alone can we have that stillness and peace, because He is God, and we can trust Him despite everything. A lovely poem for all of us, not only the Ukraine, although they desperately need such encouragement as this offers. Well written.

Comment from BethShelby
This scripture has to be true as all scriptures are. But Ecclesiastes 3:4 say there is a time and season for everything. There much me a time to be still and time flee. There is also a time kill and a time to weep. I think those people in Ukraine have felt it was a time to do both. In spite of that is always a time to realize God cares and He is God. I just pray too many more of them don't find that it is time to die. I like you poem. It is well written and it is always a time seek God.

Comment from Ric Myworld
I'll never understand senseless wars and no regard for human life. What reasons could there ever be for such lack of priorities? Other than a power hungry Putin. God bless you and yours, Mike.

Comment from Sally Law
How unsure and frightening the world has become, and how quickly this war escalated although Russia had been making threats for months and amassing troops along the Ukraine border. It sounds like you are there, dear Papa. Are you, or just speaking as one who knows? Either way, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in times of trouble. Prayers for the Ukraine, for you and your family and for us all.
