As soon as I said to my hubby that I was headed out to the Secret Garden to sit a while, the song "Word of God Speak" popped into my mind...and I found myself singing it as I sat down in the garden...as a prayer...so perfect for this moment. Here is the link for this song and a copy of the lyrics for you to sing along with me:
Word of God Speak, By Mercy Me
Lyrics
I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say
Word of God speak
Would you pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That you're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In your holiness
Word of God speak
I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice
(chorus)
Word of God speak
Would you pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That you're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In your holiness
Word of God speak
I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay

Here are some of the "words" that God spoke to me in the stillness of this place today:
Psalm 119:89-90
"Forever, O Lord,
Your Word is settled in heaven.
Your faithfulness endures to all generations.
You established the earth, and it abides"
Psalm 119:105
and a light to my path."
Psalm 119:114
"You are my hiding place and my shield;
I hope in Your word."
Psalm 119:130
"The entrance of Your words gives light;
It gives understanding to the simple."
Psalm 119:160
"The entirety of Your word is truth;
And every one of Your righteous judgments
endures forever."
Psalm 119:169
"Let my cry come before You, O Lord;
Give me understanding
according to Your word."
Psalm 119:170-171
"Let my supplication come before You;
Deliver me according to Your word.
My lips shall utter praise
for You teach me Your statutes."
Psalm 130:5-6
"I wait for the Lord,
my soul waits;
and in His word I do hope.
My soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning...
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning."
Psalm 103:17-18
"But the mercy of the Lord
is from everlasting to everlasting
on those who fear Him;
and His righteousness to children's children.
To such as keep His covenant,
and to those who remember His
commandments to do them."
Thank You, Lord, for speaking to me today in this place.
You know the concerns of my heart...and You have
addressed them according to Your Word.
In You I place my trust...for myself,
and for my "children's children",
Amen.
Perhaps this was a quiet moment for the "Word of God" to speak to your heart today as well. I pray so. Have a blessed and glorious day my friends.
