Solace
1 : alleviation of grief or anxiety
2 : a source of relief or consolation

At this moment I'm sitting In Solace. I'm alleviating myself of grief over things, people, and situations that can so easily weigh us down and steal our joy and livelihood. Things like the mental addiction of staying so tethered to the constant information stream through all of my social interactive tools (iPhone, Twitter, email, etc...) I found myself this morning so quickly like a programmed robot checking my email as I got up out of bed. Like it couldn't wait, right? So, finally, as I sit in solace with the Lord this morning, I'm receiving from him relief and consolation. Don't we so need it on a regular basis. Moments of complete alleviation. I'm so thankful that the Lord is my helper, my alleviator. His Word says, "Where does our help come from, it comes from the Lord the maker of Heaven and Earth." Ps. 121:1&2. Thank you Lord for being my comforter, counselor, strength, peace, joy, solitude, my stream to sit by and receive a fresh wind in my sails for today.
