Anchoring Your Peace in God: Finding God in the Stillness

The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.

— Exodus 14:14

Stillness is not passive; it is an active surrender to God’s sovereignty. In the moments when we stop striving and lean into His presence, we discover that He is already at work on our behalf. Stillness is where faith and trust meet, where we let go of our agendas and make room for His plans.

Stillness is the doorway to divine connection. It is in the quiet moments, when we pause and simply be, that we encounter God in profound ways. This stillness allows us to see life not through the lens of our worries but through the clarity of His grace.

How to Encounter God in Stillness

1. Pause During Transitions: Before moving from one task to the next, take a deep breath and invite God’s presence.
2. Meditate on His Word: Choose a short passage of scripture and reflect on it in silence, letting its truth sink deeply into your heart.
3. Release Your Striving: Acknowledge areas where you’ve been “fighting” on your own and surrender them to God.
