Dan Webster taught me that there are things God does in the heart of a leader that only get done in quiet. I’ve learned the value of getting away to experience solitude and quiet. A few years ago, I went to Penuel Ridge with my friend, Sandra. I wrote this in my journal just after I arrived.
O Lord, I am back where your spring flowers called to my soul. Now the gentle sunshine in a crisp fall afternoon falls on my face, bringing warmth and light. While I’m here please:
- Pour into me
- Soak into my heart
- Seep into my being
- Penetrate my soul
- Drown my fears
- Illuminate my dark places
- Mark my path
