Scripture:
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
— Psalm 46:10 (NKJV)
Points:
- Stillness is often the path to deep trust in God.
- Knowing God is more than head knowledge — it’s personal recognition.
- Anxiety often thrives in noise; peace grows in stillness.
- God’s sovereignty is the anchor of our quiet trust.
- He will be exalted — and our hearts can rest in that truth.
Poem: The Still Place
The world keeps spinning, voices race.
But in the rush, you speak a word:
Be still. Be still and see my face.
Be still and let the fears subside.
Be still and know that I am near.
I do not rule from far away.
I do not hide behind the clouds.
I hold the earth in silent strength.
I know the storm and still the wind.
I speak, and chaos starts to rest.
Stillness is not the absence of pain.
It’s choosing calm beneath the weight.
It’s knowing I don’t have to strive.
It’s trusting who you’ve shown to be.
It’s resting where you’ve called me in.
You are exalted over fear.
You rule the parts I cannot fix.
You do not ask for busy hands.
You ask for eyes that look and know—
That you are God and you are good.
Today I quiet all the noise.
I take my seat at peace again.
You are enough. I know your name.
You are the stillness I now choose.
You are the calm I live within.
Prayer:
Lord, help me be still. Still my anxious thoughts and restless striving. Let me know You deeply today as the God who rules in peace and love. Amen.
