Lord, it is night.
The night is for stillness.
Let us be still in God’s presence.
It is night after a long day.
What has been done has been done.
What has not been done has not been done.
Let it be.
~New Zealand Prayer Book, Night Prayer
In the stillness,
Sandy
Welcome to the Still Saturday Community where we pause after a busy week, move in quiet pilgrimage, maybe linger a while in some still place, and soak in the beauty of images and reflect on the depth of sparse words. We’d love for you to join us. Grab the button and link up below. We all love to hear if something especially speaks to your heart, but please don’t feel pressured to comment. Simply take some time to be still together, to gaze long and drink deep.
I wish I’d practiced this “let it be” when I was younger. There’s so much freedom in asking God to order my steps for the day and then finding peace at the end of the day that God allowed me to “get done” what was necessary. So grateful for you, my sweet friend. xox
Me, too, I’m grateful for you, too. xo
Sandra,
You always know the perfectly quiet way to usher in a relaxing, God-focused weekend. Thank You! ~Gina
Thank you for sitting with me, Gina. 🙂
Beautiful prayer, Sandy, thank you for always offering the perfect stillness in Him, for this day. Blessings.
Breathing slow and deep. Praying right now for your week, June.
And how can it be so difficult to do something so simple? Thank you for these words! Glad to be here 🙂
We sometimes make the easy hard, I think. At least I do. Bless your week, Alli.
“Let it be” – three simple words that aren’t so easy to live out. Yet, they are very necessary in so many ways. Thanks for the link-up and for the reminder. Blessings to you and yours.
And “let it go,” yes? Thanks for your faithful presence here, Heather. You make me smile.
Welcome home, Sweet Sister. Let it be, indeed. Thank you. Bless you.
Thanks, Sis. 🙂
Beautiful prayer! Thanks for hosting & God bless.
Bless you, Laurie. Hugs.
What a great prayer that is!
Agree. Wish I’d have thought of it. 😉
Just beautiful ♥ This prayer resonates deep within me; hard to let go sometimes! That’s when we must remember to “Let go, and Let God” ♥
Blessings,
Denise
Oh, I hear you, Denise. And I’m right there with you.
So simple & yet such a struggle. Beautiful!
So true. Yet so needed.
beautiful prayer. freedom.
allows us to enter the new day without weight …
thanks, Sandy.
Traveling light by letting it go. 🙂
Sandra, this was meant for me last night, but I was blessed to see it early this morning…early enough to turn it around and to revisit and reflect this evening! A beautiful prayer! It also brought back to my memory the feelings I felt when John Lennon and the Beatles first sang this song…”Let it Be”. Mixed emotions back in that time, but tonight in the stillness and silence, in faith and trust, I shall let it be! God bless!
Your comment encourages me, Mary. I’m glad this prayer was what you needed. Love when God does His “magic.” Bless you big.
Should have said Paul McCartney, Freudian slip…as Mr. Lennon was experiencing other spirit thoughts…oh! Age is sneaking up on me…lol!
Oh, I wrote about that song and posted a video. My iPad’s not letting me post the link. (computer’s in the hospital.) Search Paul McCartney or Let it Be on this site. 🙂
