A Scripture and a Prayer: “Be Still and Know”

“Be still, and know that I am God … He calms the storm, so that its waves are still” (Psalm 46:10a; 107:29)

Prayer:

Lord, there just seems to be one storm after another in my life. One gets through and another one comes roaring down right after it. And in truth there just seems to be no peace. And yet, I remember the disciples in the boat when a storm seemed to come out of nowhere, and desperately they were trying to keep it from sinking. When they asked You, Lord Jesus, who was asleep at the time, why You didn’t care if they drowned, You told the storm to be still, and it immediately stopped. What I learn from this is of my need to get my focus off the storm and unto You Lord, and know that You are God, and to still my anxious thoughts and fears, and then I will have a peace during the storms of life. AMEN
