Find Your Still Point

Find Your Still Point…

In the whirlwind of our lives, a gentle whisper cuts through the noise: “Be still, and know that I am God.”  It’s an invitation, not a demand, to find a sanctuary within ourselves where we can connect with the divine.  Psalm 46:10 isn’t about emptying ourselves, but about opening ourselves to the fullness of God’s presence.

Think of it like this:  a rushing river, churning with rapids, can obscure the treasures hidden beneath the surface. Only when the waters calm, when the current slows, can we glimpse the vibrant life teeming below. 

Similarly, in the stillness, we dive deep into the ocean of God’s love, discovering depths we never knew existed. It’s not always easy. Our minds, accustomed to constant activity, may resist the quiet.  But it’s in this sacred pause that true transformation begins. 

Being still means quieting the internal storms – the anxieties, the need for control, the clamoring voices – and creating space for God to fill us with peace.

Imagine the weight of worry lifting, the tension in your shoulders melting away, as you simply be in God’s presence.  It’s a moment of pure connection, a breath of fresh air in the midst of chaos.  In that stillness, we find renewal, healing, and clarity of purpose that the world can’t offer.

Heavenly Father, in the midst of the daily rush, I hear your gentle call: “Be still.”  Help me to answer, to quiet the noise both around me and within me. Create a sacred space in my heart where I can meet with you.  I lay down my worries, my plans, my need to control, and surrender them to your loving care.  As I embrace the stillness, let your presence fill me, your peace wash over me, and your love calm my restless spirit.  Speak to me in the silence, Lord. Let me hear your whispers guiding my steps and shaping my path.  Remind me that in this stillness, I find you, and in finding you, I find the strength I need for each day. Thank you for your constant presence, always there, always transforming. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Remember: Worry is a conversation you have with yourself about things you can’t change. Prayer is a conversation you have with God about things He can change.

Walk with God, hand in hand, every single day!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
