This really spoke to me. Sometimes the real battle isn’t the loud, obvious attacks, it’s the subtle irritations and distractions that try to pull our focus away from God’s peace. I love how you shifted your attention from the “noise” to the rooted stillness of the tree. That reminder from Psalm 1 and John 15 is powerful our strength is in staying connected to the Vine, not in chasing every distraction.

Yes. It takes only the Holy Spirit to shift one to such a place and posture of spirit. Thank you Sae. Glad it inspires you too 😘

Another beautiful reflection of God's grace today, Cathy--thank you! I am recommending your Substack with: "Cathy reads and writes with a sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, and here is a wellspring of living words for the weary traveler. She invites us to slow down and experience God--to find Him in the quiet by the well, and also along the way to wherever we are going. We meet Him in our moments wherever we are--because He is right here with us."
