Scripture:
Psalm 46:10 (KJV)
“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Empowering Devotion:
In a world filled with noise, distractions, and endless demands, the practice of stillness is often overlooked. Yet, God calls us to be still, to quiet our hearts, and to acknowledge His sovereignty. Stillness is not merely the absence of movement, but a posture of trust—resting in the knowledge that God is in control.
Many times, we seek answers, solutions, and breakthroughs, yet we fail to simply be still and listen. We rush through prayers, distracted by our own thoughts and anxieties. However, true reflection requires moments of silence where we allow God to speak to our hearts.
During this Lenten season, take intentional moments to pause and rest in His presence. Silence the distractions, turn off the noise, and let your spirit be refreshed. In the stillness, God reveals His peace, His wisdom, and His unfailing love.
If you have been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or uncertain, take today as a reminder that God is your refuge. He is working behind the scenes, even when you cannot see it. Be still, trust Him, and know that He is God.
Inspiring Prayer:
Father, I thank You because I know You hear me. Let Your will be done as I learn to be still in Your presence. Quiet my anxious thoughts, remove distractions, and help me to trust in You completely.
Teach me the beauty of resting in Your peace. Let my heart be calm, my spirit attentive, and my faith unwavering. In the stillness, speak to me, Lord. Remind me of Your love, Your power, and Your divine purpose for my life.
I surrender every worry and every burden to You. I choose to be still and trust that You are in control. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
