Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God….”
Last night, sleep was hard to come by. Many factors contributed to my poor night’s sleep, but the end result is that this morning, I am exhausted, and my thoughts seem anxiously chaotic. As I began my prayer time, I had no idea where God was leading me this morning and feared my sleep-deprived mind might not be able to hear His still, small voice.
Mark 4:39 And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Hush, be still.” And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm.
But my Savior is steadfast and faithful. He not only showed up, He brought His peace for my addled thoughts. “Peace. Be still. Hush. Settle down. I’m here, even in the confusion. I’ve got you in the palm of my hand. You are mine. I won’t leave you. Just breathe and trust and know I am God, I am yours, I am here.”
Psalm 107:29 He calmed the storm to a whisper, and the waves of the sea were hushed.
Lord, Thank You for this day, for Your calming presence, for always fighting for me, even when I am exhausted. Quiet the chaotic thoughts within me today, Lord. Be my strength. Draw me closer to You. Amen.
Exodus 14:14 “The LORD will fight for you; you need only be still.”
Have a blessed day.
