But I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, hope in the LORD from this time forth and forevermore.

Lord, You are a refuge of peace and serenity in a maelstrom of confusion, tension, anger, greed, and hatred. You are the eye of the storm, the Peace that passes all understanding, my perfect hiding place. Guide me today to work out from that base of Shalom as You call me to minister to the lost, least and lonely.
