In the midst of the chaos and demands of daily life, it’s easy to lose sight of the peace that God offers. As parents, we’re often pulled in many directions, our minds racing with to-do lists, worries, and responsibilities. Yet, in the midst of all this, Psalm 46:10 invites us to pause and reconnect with the One who holds it all together: "Be still, and know that I am God."
Imagine yourself in a quiet meadow, bathed in golden sunlight. The grass beneath you is soft and inviting, and the warmth of the sun on your skin is a tangible reminder of the Father’s loving embrace. In this peaceful place, take a moment to breathe deeply, inhaling the peace that the Lord promises. As you exhale, let go of the worries, distractions, and busyness that may be weighing on your mind.
In the stillness of this meadow, focus on your breath—the gentle rhythm of each inhale and exhale. Let your breath be an anchor, grounding you in the present moment. If your mind starts to wander, gently bring it back to your breath, repeating the words of Psalm 46:10 silently in your mind: "Be still, and know that I am God."
As these words resonate within you, allow them to settle in your heart. Open yourself to the Lord’s presence, inviting His peace, love, and guidance to surround you. In these quiet moments, remember that Jesus has all you need for every season of parenting. He cares deeply about you and desires to walk this journey with you, offering His peace, guidance, and patience.
When life feels overwhelming, know that you can always find deep joy and rest in His presence. All you need to do is be still and know that He is good.
