Stop the nonstop.
Wait. Breathe.
Be still and know that He is God.
Not an easy sell to busy minds. Crowded calendars. Never-ending notifications.
But necessary.
Needful.
Stop the nonstop
Stop the nonstop. With listening prayer.
Rest.
Remember. I am His.
Rehearse. His unfailing Truth and faithful promises. Give Him praise.
Regain. Perspective of His purpose.
Renew. Commitment to His ways.
Rest.
He is God
In the stopping. And extended stillness. Clarity returns.
The Lord, He is God. High and lifted up.
Strong. Sovereign. Shepherd.
And worthy of my everything.
I will stop the nonstop.
And trust in Him alone.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 NASB
What about you?
Have you taken opportunities lately to stop and be still before the Lord? How often do you take extended time with Him in the Word and prayer and silence? What has been helpful to you in this practice?

I love silence! Listening to birds and insects as I walk in the early morning refreshes me. I’m slowly learning to take that “listening heart” into the activity of the day.
Such a good way to put it. A listening heart in the activity of the day. Thanks, sister.
Did a study on prayer and silence. It was great and I was trying to sit in silence for a bit every week, but got out of the habit. Want to get back into it.
