What Does it Mean to ‘Be Still’?
The phrase “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10) is a powerful invitation. It’s not just about physical quietness, but a quieting of the mind and spirit. It’s about releasing our anxieties, surrendering our control, and recognizing God’s sovereignty in our lives.
Being still involves intentionally setting aside time to disconnect from distractions and connect with God. It’s about creating space for Him to speak to our hearts and reveal His will for our lives.

In our fast-paced world, stress and anxiety can easily overwhelm us. Stillness offers a refuge, allowing us to release tension and find inner calm.

Spending time in stillness allows us to reflect on God’s presence in our lives, fostering a deeper trust and reliance on Him.
