Find Peace in the Presence of God
Be still, and know that I {am} God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
— Psalms 46:10
In a world that's always on the go, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life. Our minds are constantly racing with thoughts, worries, and to-do lists. But today, the Lord invites us to 'be still.' To pause, to quiet our minds, and to focus on Him. It's not always easy, I know. But when we take the time to be still, we begin to experience the peace that surpasses understanding. We begin to know that God is God, and we are not. We begin to trust that He is in control, and that He will be exalted in the earth. So take a deep breath, slow down, and be still. Let the peace of God fill your heart and mind, and know that you are loved.
Prayer
Dear Lord, help me to slow down and be still before you today. Fill my heart and mind with your peace and presence. Help me to know and trust that you are God, and that you will be exalted in my life.
