Be Still

Be Still

Daily Verse & Prayer
Dec 3
Psalm 46:10 KJV
"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10 KJV

Reflection

Stillness is not always easy in a world that rushes and demands our attention. Yet Psalm 46:10 reminds us that silence is sacred — it is the space where God’s presence becomes clear. When we quiet our hearts, we discover that His voice is not drowned out by noise but revealed in peace.

The bowed bird statue is a picture of humility and rest. Just as the bird pauses, we too are invited to pause, to breathe, and to remember that God is in control. In the silence, He heals our weary thoughts and renews our strength. Today, let us practice being still — not as an escape, but as an act of trust in the One who holds all things.

Prayer

Lord, please forgive me of my sins; 
and help me quiet the rushing thoughts in my mind; 
help me to be still and silent so I can hear Your voice in the quiet. 
Guide my choices and grant me peace. 
Thank you Lord for your healing grace in my life. 
In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

Selah.,

April 21 — Present

The Quill and Me—Devotional Blog•Oswald Chambers Reflections  Today's Devotional • Back to Home Page April 21 Today's Reading: My Utmost for His Highest  John 14:9  "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip?"  ...He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Present Philip stood in front of Jesus and still asked to see the Father. Jesus told him that seeing Him was seeing the Father. God was right there, and Philip didn’t recognize Him. We are the same way. God is with us, guiding us, steadying us, revealing Himself in quiet ways — yet we often look for something dramatic. Faith is trusting the God we cannot see, the God who is already here.   Philip wasn't asking out of rebellion.  Philip was asking out of longing — the same longing we feel. But Jesus’ response reveals something deeper:  “Have I been with you so long, and you still don’t know Me?” We want to see God with our eyes, h...

Dec 2 — Do Not Worry

The Quill and Me—Devotional Blog•Oswald Chambers Reflections  Today's Devotional • Back to Home Page December 2 Daily Verse & Prayer 1 Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you ." Do Not Worry Worry has a way of creeping into our hearts, especially when life feels uncertain. Yet this verse reminds us that we are not meant to carry the weight alone. God’s care is not distant — it is personal, tender, and constant. Every detail of our lives matters to Him. When we release our burdens into His hands, we exchange anxiety for peace. It doesn’t mean the challenges disappear, but it does mean we walk through them with courage, knowi ng the Lord is near. Today, let us name our worries and lay them before Him, trusting Him to carry what we cannot. Prayer Father, I lay my worries at Your feet.  Please give me calm for my mind and courage for my work, and remind me -   You hold every detail.  In Jesus' precious, holy name I pray, Amen.  Do N...
