Daily Inspiration, Scripture, Meditation and Prayer
March 17

Forget the useless and unhealthy things of your past that clutter your mind so that you can live a life that is alive and vibrant. Lord, help me to discard all that clouds my day so that I am able to live the life that You intend me to live.

Scripture for the Day
"Jesus woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Peace! Be still!' Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. He said to them, 'Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?' And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, 'Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?'" — Mark 4:39-41

Meditation for the Day
We can withdraw in to the calm of communion with God. We can rest in that calm and peace. When the soul finds its home of rest in God, then it is that real life begins. Only when we are calm and serene can we do good work. Emotional upsets can make us useless. Life in God brings calmness and when we enter into that life, then we live as eternal beings. Calmness is based on complete trust in God. Nothing in this world can separate us from the love of God.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may wear the world like a loose garment. I pray that I may keep serene at the center of my being.
