Devotional:

Stillness isn’t just the absence of noise; it’s the presence of trust. When God says, “Be still,” He isn’t telling you to try harder to be quiet - He’s inviting you to release your grip.

Much of our inner wrestle comes from carrying things God never asked us to carry. Fear of control, fear of outcomes, fear of missing something. All of this emotional control fills our minds until we forget what peace feels like.

Pastor and author, Pete Scazzero said,

“You cannot live at a frenetic pace without paying a price. Eventually your soul will demand your attention.”

Sometimes the loudest voice isn’t whats around us but whats unresolved inside of us.

Stillness becomes the place where your soul can finally focus and hears this truth again:
God is God and you are not you. His ways our higher and thoughts are deeper.

Reminding yourself of this is not passive; it’s choosing to let the world spin without letting your heart spin with it.

Stillness is a place where His voice becomes clearer. The place where God restores us.

Reflection Question:

What if today He’s not just calling you to just relax but to release something to Him?

Carry This With You:

Release your grip from the things you can’t control and rest in the God who can.
