At one time i didn't know how to just stop! I felt i had to find something to do all the time! I had to be involved and on the go, being a part of everything that was going on. I thought i couldn't afford to miss anything that happened because i didn't want anything to go on i didn't know about. I couldn't just sit and be still, look at a tree out the window, or drink a cup of tea. I had to be up and doing something.
One of the main reasons why so many of us are burned out and stressed out is that we don't know how to be still - to "know" God and to "acknowledge" Him.
When we spend time with him we learn to hear his voice. When we acknowledge Him he directs our paths. If we don't spend time being still, getting to know Him, and hearing His voice, we will operate from our own strength in the flesh.
One of the most important things we can learn in this day and hour is how to be STILL.
Are you stressed? Just be still and know that He is God :)
I thank God that he reminds us in Psalm 46:10
"Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth"
"Father, I set as a priority spending time with You. To hear Your voice clearly and to obey You. Help me to keep my priorities in order. I know that as I place You first by spending time with you, You will cause me to do supernaturally all the things that i need to do. I know that you want me to have peace in every area of my life and have made that peace available to me. I thank you that when i ask for wisdom, you give it to me. I ask that You guide me and give me wisdom so that i know clearly the commitments to make. I thank you Lord, that i use my energies in the way You want them used. In Jesus' name i pray, Amen."
