The relaxed state of repose which comes from faith in an
eternally-active sovereign personal God.
I am calm and cheerful. I share my inner peace and happiness with
others. Because the Spirit is accomplishing God's Kingdom
purposes, I need not exhaust myself in tension and pressure in a
corporate rat-race; I stand alongside the treadmill, helping
others step off.
I am composed and collected in the face of chaos.
My friends know me to be steady and balanced.
I am not afraid to be Edenic
in a competitive, dog-eat-dog culture.
My desire to be serene pleases God.
People around me can depend on me to be cool and collected.
The Spirit empowers me to be poised and balanced.
People describe me as
- balanced
- collected
- composed
- cool
- Edenic
- encouraging
- poised
- serene
- steady
Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother;
Like a weaned child is my soul within me. Psalm 131:2

And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.

Jerusalem forever";

thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good
success.
