"To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders."
-Lao Tzu
For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.
-John F. Kennedy 

LDS/Scriptures: 

Peace, Be Still

I woke up in the middle of the night with the heaviest heart I’d ever had. The pain was suffocating me. I fell to my knees and sobbed a prayer to my Heavenly Father. All my life I had been taught about the Atonement and Jesus Christ’s miraculous healing power. Now my faith was being tested. Did I really believe? I asked my Father in Heaven to please heal my heart. The pain was too much for me to deal with alone.
Then a feeling of peace, comfort, and love swept over my entire body. I felt as though God had wrapped His arms around me and was protecting me from the intense pain I had felt. I still missed my brother, but I was able to see with different eyes. There was so much for me to learn from this experience.


Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea
Or demons or men or whatever it be,
No waters can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean and earth and skies.
They all shall sweetly obey thy will:
Peace, be still.
 “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10)
 
Job 37: 14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

My Thoughts:

To be still is to be peaceful, to have the spirit with you and to be understanding to others. Also to be still you must be willing to step out of your comfort zone and do things without complaint.
For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.
