00:05Fighting hurry to make space for God. Be still and know that I am God. That short verse holds
00:12powerful truth, especially in our fast-paced, distracted world. Stillness isn't inactivity,
00:19it's intentional rest and awareness. When we pause, we make space to remember who God is
00:26and who we are in Him. So much of our anxiety, burnout, and stress stems from trying to carry
00:33what only God can handle. But we only experience His peace when we stop long enough to receive it.
00:40Stillness doesn't come naturally. It must be fought for. Phones buzz, schedules demand,
00:46and minds race. But when we slow down and make room for God, we're reminded that He is in control,
00:53not us. The world keeps spinning even when we rest. God invites us into peace not through
01:00performance but through presence. And it's in stillness that we're most likely to hear His
01:05whisper. Applications. Take five uninterrupted minutes today to sit in silence, breathing deeply
01:13and focusing on God's presence. Cancel or reschedule one unnecessary task this week and
01:20use that time to rest with God.
