"Ah, Lord, unto whom all hearts are open, Thou canst govern the vessel of my soul far better than I can. Arise O Lord, and command the stormy wind and the troubled sea of my heart to be still, and at peace in Thee, that I may look up to Thee undisturbed, and abide in union with Thee, my Lord. Let me not be carried hither and thither by wandering thoughts; but forgetting all else, let me see and hear Thee. Renew my spirit; kindle me in Thy light, that it may shine within me, and my heart may burn in love and adoration toward Thee. Let Thy Holy Spirit dwell in my continually, and make me Thy temple and sanctuary, and fill me with divine love and light and life, with devout and heavenly thoughts, with comfort and strength, with joy and peace. Amen."
~Johann Arndt~
Isn't this good? The part that spoke greatly to me was, "Let me not be carried hither and thither by wandering thoughts..."
Hello! That's me!
Anyway, hope your week is awesome! I guess this is my farewell. We are leaving in 1 day, Hallelujah!
"Lord, give me life, according to Your faithful love."
~Psalm 119:159~
Lots of love,

Noella,
This was a beautiful quote, and I am also in agreement with you regarding the part that spoke to you the most - me too!
Anyway, have fun on your trip! :)
