SUNDAY

Psalm 46:10

• How can you be still and know God this week?

At this point, you have probably gotten back to the rhythm of the grind. You’ve shaken off the post holiday blues and are back to performing at 100% to be the best athlete, musician, or have the most academic success. It’s almost like after a holiday, we lose all capability to be still because we feel like we are playing catch-up or have to work harder to f ind our tempo. In the busyness, it can be difficult to know God; it can be difficult to see how God is moving in our lives. As you make your schedule for the next week, navigating homework and other responsibilities, try slotting 5 minutes a day to be still through prayer, journaling, or reading. After one week, try 6 minutes a day, then increase by 6 minutes each week. Just like getting back into the performance flow takes time, getting comfortable being still takes time as well.
