Wish more people would understand and do this. Our senses and our environment present too many distractions and stumbling blocks to knowing God.

When I used to meet regularly with a group for centering prayer, we started the meditation with:

"Be still and know that I am God.

Be still and know that I am.

Be still and know

Be still

Be."

If anyone accepts that verse is from God, then the natural understanding is that the entire rest of the book is the word of God also. In other words, the ultimate answer for any anxiety.

No one is saying that they accept that the verse is "from God".

There's some real anxiety-producing stuff in the "entire rest of the book".
