The Stillness Between the Storms: Embracing God's Peace

Updated: Nov 9

Life has a way of keeping us busy, doesn’t it? There’s always something calling for our attention, pulling us in a hundred directions at once. But every now and then, God invites us to stop. To pause. To breathe.


The Sacred Space of Stillness


The stillness isn’t empty — it’s where God meets us. Psalm 46:10 reminds us: “Be still, and know that I am God.” Not “do more,” not “try harder,” just be still. That stillness is sacred space, a quiet place where the noise of the world fades, and the whisper of the Spirit grows clear.


In our busy lives, we often overlook the importance of these moments. They are not just breaks from our routine; they are opportunities to connect deeply with God. I’ve learned over the years that some of the most profound moments of guidance, comfort, and clarity come in those pauses.


Finding Peace Amidst Chaos


The storm doesn’t have to stop for us to experience His presence. Even in the middle of life’s challenges, there is a stillness that holds us. It’s a gentle reminder that we are never alone. God is with us, even when the winds are howling and the waves are crashing.


Take a moment today. Breathe in God’s peace. Let go of the chaos for just a few minutes. Notice how He shows up — often in the small, quiet ways that we least expect.


Creating Space for God


How can we create this sacred space in our daily lives? Here are a few simple suggestions:


  1. Set Aside Time: Dedicate a few minutes each day to simply be still. Find a quiet spot where you can sit comfortably. Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Let your thoughts settle.


  2. Engage in Prayer: Use this time to talk to God. Share your worries, your hopes, and your dreams. Listen for His voice in the stillness.


  3. Reflect on Scripture: Read a passage from the Bible that resonates with you. Let the words wash over you. Meditate on their meaning and how they apply to your life.


  4. Practice Gratitude: Take a moment to thank God for the blessings in your life. Acknowledging His goodness can help shift your focus from chaos to peace.


Reflection Thought


Where in your life right now do you need to step into stillness? How can you make space for God’s voice to be heard?


Let’s embrace the stillness together. It’s in these moments that we can truly hear God’s whispers and feel His presence.
