Embedded in the call to solitude is a call to stillness. In the midst of earthshaking events, instead of responding with a flurry of anxious activity, God invites us to “Be still, and know that I am God!" (v10) and to find peace in knowing that the Lord is here, with us (v11).

For Reflection:

The invitation to stillness is to rest in the security of God's presence.

- What are the sources of distress in your work, your relationships, and in the world?

- How do you respond to such distress in healthy and unhealthy ways? How might acknowledging God help you to respond in healthier ways?

- What might it look like to "be still" and know that Jesus is Lord, and that he is always with us? In other words, how might you practice stillness?
