Being Still

"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10

Be still. Do you know how hard it is to be still sometimes? To.truly.be.still? In the depths of our being. To be still enough to hear the silence. To be still enough to hear our thoughts. To be still enough to hear His voice.

I am struggling with being still. I am struggling to slow down. I am afraid that if I am still, I will get behind! And so I blindly run through each day and hope that I am somewhat near the right path... that I am doing the right things... that I am not neglecting those things which are most important.

I pray to be still. I pray for that inner peace and quiet that I used to take for granted! I pray for the desire to sit at the feet of Jesus and let everything else wait. I pray to hear. I pray to know that He is God!
