Calm

God! … who is like you, powerful and faithful from every angle? You put the arrogant ocean in its place and calm its waves when they turn unruly… The Right and Justice are the roots of your rule; Love and Truth are its fruits. Blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise, who shout on parade in the bright presence of God.

A calm and undisturbed mind and heart are the life and health of the body, but envy, jealousy, and wrath are like rottenness of the bones.

Hot tempers start fights; a calm, cool spirit keeps the peace.

“Blessed is the man who trusts me, God, the woman who sticks with God. They're like trees replanted in Eden, putting down roots near the rivers— Never a worry through the hottest of summers, never dropping a leaf, Serene and calm through droughts, bearing fresh fruit every season.

For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.

Psalm 89:5 Proverbs 14:30 Proverbs 15:18 Jeremiah 17:7 Zephaniah 3:17 2 Timothy 1:7

God’s presence in us is His greatest present to us.
