| “…Be still, and know that I am God!...” (Psalm 46:10, ) |
| It’s easy to live frustrated because somebody is not doing what we want, discouraged because of a disappointment, upset because our dreams haven’t come to pass. And the lock down and pandemic. But God doesn’t remove every frustration. He doesn’t change every person we don’t like or take away everything that’s bothering us. When He says, “Be still and know that I am God,” this implies that if we’re not still, if we’re upset, frustrated, and worried, we’re not going to know that He is God. Most of the time when we’re frustrated, we’re trying to change things that only God can change. We’re trying to be God and fix things over which we have no control. You can’t make people do what’s right or make yourself get well. If you’re trying to control everything, you’re going to be frustrated. Do what you can, then turn it over to God and let Him take care of the rest. Stay at peace, knowing He’s in control. “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand”. Isaiah 41:10. |
| Prayer: “Father, thank You that I can be still and know that You are God. Help me to stop trying to change what only You can change and stop trying to fix things over which I have no control. I declare that I’m going to stay in peace and know that You are in control. In Jesus’ Name, Amen." |

God I ask You in Jesus' name to help each of Your children learn how to deal with the uncertainties and trials of this time and season. Whatever we are to learn, let us learn it, grow from it, prosper from it, and help others grow, learn, and prosper from it. Amen, so be it by faith, and by faith, it is so.
Listen to silence. Expect the best coming to you. Finding some quiet time in your life if very important to God. Just run to the arms of the Lord and you will find wonderful things coming to you.
