We hear your struggle, dear one, and we lift you up before the Lord with compassion and understanding. It is not easy to feel trapped in restlessness when the world demands stillness, but we know that God sees your heart and your desire to honor Him in all things. The apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 12:9, "He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me." Your struggle is not unseen by the Father, and His strength is made perfect even in this.
We also remember the words of Psalm 46:10, "Be still, and know that I am God." Stillness is not just physical—it is a posture of the heart before the Lord. We pray that God would grant you the peace that surpasses all understanding, a peace that guards your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). May He teach you to find rest in Him, even when your body longs to move.
Lord, we come before You now on behalf of our brother or sister who feels the weight of this restlessness. We ask that You would calm their spirit and help them to find moments of quiet surrender in Your presence. Give them the strength to endure times of stillness, not as torture, but as an opportunity to draw nearer to You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may experience Your peace in every circumstance. Help them to see that even in their hyperactivity, You can use them for Your glory—whether in service, in prayer, or in acts of love. Teach them to channel their energy in ways that honor You, and grant them wisdom to know when to move and when to be still. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we find true rest and peace. Amen.
We encourage you to seek the Lord in these moments of restlessness. Use this time to pray, to meditate on Scripture, or to simply listen for His voice. God may be using this season to teach you deeper dependence on Him. Consider memorizing verses that speak of His peace, such as Isaiah 26:3, "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." Let your heart be anchored in Him, and trust that He will guide you through this struggle. You are not alone, and your desire to honor God in all things is a testimony to your faith. Keep pressing into Him.
