Scripture Reading
Psalm 46:10
"Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!"
Reflection
Stillness is not emptiness — it is a form of attention. When we slow down, we begin to notice what was always there: the steady faithfulness of a God who does not rush. In a culture that rewards constant motion, choosing to be still is almost countercultural. Today, let one quiet moment be enough.
Prayer for Today
Grant me a good night's sleep tonight, God, so that I can awake refreshed and ready to begin another day loving you. Thank you again for blessings so undeserved and too numerous to count. I love being your child, and I long for the word "faithful" to describe my service to you, each day of every year. When I awake in the morning, may it be with a joyful smile, not a grumpy spirit. May your protection and your presence bathe this place with peace and safety against the enemy. Good night, Lord. In Jesus's name, Amen.
Amen.
