What does it mean to be still before God?

Being still isn't doing nothing; it's trusting God enough to stop carrying everything alone.

"“Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted over the earth.”"
Psalm 46:10 (BSB)

Be still, and know that I am God.

"Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28 (BSB)

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

What does God say about who I am?

Your worth comes from God, not from how much you get done.

"I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well."
Psalm 139:14 (BSB)

I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

"The LORD your God is among you; He is mighty to save. He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing.”"
Zephaniah 3:17 (BSB)

The Lord your God is with you; He rejoices over you with gladness.

What can I reflect on and pray today?

Ask: what am I carrying that God hasn't asked me to carry alone? Pray: Lord, quiet my heart. Help me trust You with what I can't control. Amen.
