Be  Still & Know That I am God
 

             When our priest spoke of different kinds of prayer I understood—especially when he said prayer can be just listening and letting God speak.

               For years I had been in a bad situation which was getting worse. I didn’t know what to do.  One day, during my Adoration hour, I just sat and looked at the Eucharist.  Suddenly, I knew what I had to do. It was difficult, and took me a year to accomplish, but, I knew I had been given my answer and could not waiver in my resolve.  After I did my part, I gave it over [to God]. In two months, like a miracle, the situation resolved. It was as if God were waiting until I had done my part. All I had to do was listen.                 ~Joyce
