Be Still and Know
05/31/26
Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. — Matthew 11:28 NLT
As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. — Ephesians 4:15–16 NLT
To be anxious is to live with uneasiness of mind and restlessness of soul, carrying a brooding fear about some part of life—or about life in general.
To form a non-anxious presence in us is to invite the Holy Spirit to deepen our trust in God’s unfailing love and to teach us how to rest in His goodness, faithfulness, and strength.
Don’t worry about the wicked or envy those who do wrong. For like grass, they soon fade away. Like spring flowers, they soon wither. Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun. Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. — Psalm 37:1–7a NLT
Be still in the presence of the Lord… — Psalm 37:7a NLT
…fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. — Philippians 4:8 NLT
I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. — Psalm 119:15 ESV
Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world. — Psalm 46:10 NLT
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. — Psalm 46:11 NLT
Be still and know that I am GOD
Be still and know that I AM
Be still and KNOW
Be STILL
BE
