PLEASE READ THIS FIRST: Psalm 46
What do you sense the Lord saying to you in this passage?
“Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)
If you do not feel this peace, try repeating these words.
Our world may be falling apart, and nations be in crisis, but God is still in charge.
Because God is here, the world will not collapse, He will help those who look to Him.
To defy God is like defying the sun: accept it or not, you need it.
God is the center of our existence, everything depends on our relationship to Him.
God is not an enemy, God is not a cruel Being; God wants to bless and benefit us.
Allow God to be the center of your life… Your safety, your strength, your help.
Jesus followers trust that Jesus is exalted to the very end (Matthew 28:18-20).
Through all your storms and crises, cling to Jesus and know that He clings to you.
Don’t let Satan trick you into focusing on the waves, and making you sink.
Look up to the One that walks on the waves, and He will lead you through!
Rest, relax, breathe deep and repeat these words whether you feel it or not.
Be still and know, be still and know, be still and know…
He is with me, He is for me, He will help me!
PRAYER
Lord, You still whisper ‘be still! I am God, I am good, I am exalted in the earth, and you will be exalted with Me!
Be still – calm down! When stressed out or worried about something – let me find rest in Jesus. God is my refuge and strength – an ever present help. Yet I have moments of weakness – when I drift away from that assurance and let anxiety weaken me! Thank you Lord for giving us Ps 46 – God is in charge and He is working things out!
God is our fortress. Our Protector. Security. Safe Haven.
In times like these, driven by fear, I live because He lives. Safe and secure.
Take it all to the Lord in prayer.
What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer!
2
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3
Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge—
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there
