Psalm 46:10a He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I know plenty of people who have a hard time being still. I am not one of them. My favorite place to be is curled up in my recline with a good book. However, I have realized over the years that while my body knows how to be still, my mind struggles with stillness.
Psalm 46:10b …I will be exalted among the nations,
Sometimes it is the incessant whir of anxiety. Sometimes it is intrusive thoughts that won’t let me be. Usually the specter of worry is in the middle of it all, whispering, “What if? What if? What if?” Yet God is also in the midst of it all whispering “Be still. Be still. Be still.”
Psalm 46:10c …I will be exalted in the earth.”
Precious Savior, I want to rest in Your peace, but I have such a difficult time silencing the worry and anxiety that clouds my mind. Help me to lay it all at Your feet. Help me to surround myself with Your peace. Help me to be still and know that You are God. Help me, Jesus. Amen.
Psalm 46:11 The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Have a blessed day.
Amen amen amen. Wow, you speak my thoughts also. Thank you.
