Being still

Just about everyone I know struggles with anxiety. For me, anxiety can swirl around in my head like storm clouds. I understand that I’m supposed to “… be still and know that I am (He is) GOD”, but that’s easier said than done. Instead, I try to take control of situations that are actually out of my control.

But did you know that the verb “be still” is translated in Hebrew as the word “rapha” which literally means “to let go” or “to surrender”. Being still before God is to let go of your need to be in control. When we do this we let the light and life of God shine through the anxiety swirling over us.

Are you worried and anxious today? Take a moment to be still before God right now ... and surrender to Him your need to be in control of your situation.
