“Practice Being Still”

Medical science says that feelings of uncertainty can result in the prefrontal cortex in your brain “shutting down”; impairing your ability to solve problems, pay attention, and stay flexible.  This increases your chance of engaging in irrational behavior and makes you more prone to anxiety, depression, and stress.  Not a good time to make decisions.

That’s why it’s important to fix your mind on what matters by centering your heart on God’s truths.  The dictionary defines stillness as “the absence of movement and sound”.  Stillness is a discipline that takes continual, conscious practice, but the act of stillness sharpens our senses and makes us more aware of God’s presence in our present circumstances.

Tonight, we are going to give you practical steps on how to practice being still during uncertain times.

“Lay Down Your Expectations”  

Many times you have your own plans for the present and future figured out.  You have your own visions and ideas of what your life should look like. Sometimes you may even compare your life to someone else’s.  Needless to say when life’s delivery doesn’t match your visions, it can send you down a very dark and lonely path.  As Christians, we know and trust that God’s way is better than our way.  His plans are greater than our plans.

Life is challenging and uncertain. While we don’t know what tomorrow will bring, we know the One who holds tomorrow. Mat 6:34 (NLT) tells us...“So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
