"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth."

(Psalm 46:10, KJV)

As the sun sets and the evening quiet descends, we come to a place of stillness before the Lord. In the stillness, He speaks. In the quiet, He heals. Tonight, we release the need to hit back, we reject the lie that being wronged first makes us right, and we open our wounds to the Balm of Gilead. The fighting stops, and the healing begins. Lift your voice and let us pray.
