Daily Reflection
St. John's Church, Lafayette Square
April 3, 2020
Dear St. John's Community,

We are being asked to stay home, so it seems like a good time to be still. And yet being still right now feels hard. For many of us, there is a constant agitation to life right now.

So I offer you a prayer that I have found to be a wonderful, simple tool for finding a measure of stillness. It is derived from the words of Psalm 46, verse 10, and it is prayed by removing words with each line:

Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know that I am
Be still and know
Be still
Be

Say the prayer slowly. Say it multiple times if needed. I hope these words will be a blessing to you, and will bring you stillness.
