Psalm 131

This was one of the psalms we prayed in the office this a.m.  This is a slight paraphrase but it goes something like this:  It is enough that my soul is still and quiet like a child on its mother's lap."  What a beautiful image!  I think this is what happens not only to me but many who sit in the silence and listen to God.  It gives one the sense of security that a child in its mother's lap has.  Such a prayer gives one the security that life's problems do not matter as long as one can rest in the heart of God.
