Room to be still
A quieter moment in a very noisy week.
Psalm 46:1–11 · 3 MIN READBe still, and know that I am God.Psalm 46:1–11
A walk outside won't make all your worries disappear. But sometimes stepping away from the noise helps you notice how tightly you've been holding them.
Psalm 46 describes upheaval: shaking mountains, roaring waters, troubled nations. Being still is not a technique for escaping every hard feeling. It is an invitation to recognize God's sovereignty amid a world we cannot control.
You can enjoy a quiet moment without demanding that it solve everything. Bring one concern to God plainly. Remember that he is a refuge, not another task on your list.
Reflect
What are you trying to control that you could bring to God in prayer?
Pray
God, you are our refuge and strength. Help me remember who you are when life feels unsteady. Amen.
