Psalm 131 is one of the shortest and quietest psalms in Scripture.
It speaks of humility, trust, and rest.
Not striving.
Not grasping.
Simply being held.
In this brief reading from the New International Version (NIV), we are invited to calm and quiet ourselves before God, like a weaned child resting in the presence of a loving parent.
Listen slowly.
Let the words settle.
Allow a moment of silence to follow.

Scripture: Psalm 131 (NIV)
This reading is part of a simple rhythm of prayer and stillness.
You are welcome to return to it whenever you need rest.
If this space is meaningful to you, consider sharing it with someone who could use a quiet moment today.
