A Word about Trust
Before peace can root itself, we must first learn to rest our weight in God’s care. Trust is the quiet turning of the heart that releases control and opens us to grace. Tonight we pause to remember: even when the world trembles, God remains our refuge and strength—present, steadfast, and sure.
Pause
- Take a deep breath in… and let it go.
- Feel your feet grounded on the earth beneath you.
- Notice your shoulders—release what you’ve been carrying.
- Place a hand over your heart; let it rise and fall with each breath.
- As you breathe, whisper inwardly: “Be still and know…”
- Inhale surrender, exhale striving.
Ponder
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. —Psalm 46:10–11
For Your Consideration
- Where have you been trying to hold everything together?
- What might it look like to release your grip and rest in God’s strength?
- Ask God: What does trust look like for me in this season?
Pray
Faithful God,You meet us in the swirl of noise and need.
You quiet the anxious places within us.
Anchor us in trust so deep that we can rest in You.
Teach our hearts to be still and know You are God. Amen.
Practice
Go forth anchored in holy trust.May the stillness of God steady your steps.
May the One who is your refuge hold what you cannot.
And may you rest, knowing you are safe in His keeping.
