Be Still and Know That I Am God

 Father God,

I come before You now and choose to be still.

Quiet my racing thoughts, calm the storms in my heart, and settle every anxious place within me.

Help me to truly know—deep in my soul—that You are God.

Not just in theory, but in this very moment: You are in control, You are sovereign, You are enough.

I release my grip on the things I cannot change and the worries I keep carrying.

I rest in the truth that You will be exalted among the nations and exalted in all the earth.

Your name will be lifted high, Your purposes will stand, and Your glory will fill every place.

So today I surrender.

I am still.

I know that You are God.

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen.

 

Help me watch over my heart daily, that nothing impure, bitter, anxious, or self-centered would take hold.

Let my heart be a wellspring of life that honors You: filled with Your truth, shaped by Your love, and directed by Your Spirit.

When my heart grows heavy or wanders, draw me back.

When it is tempted to harden or grow cold, soften it again.

Teach me to treasure Your Word within it, so that every word I speak, every choice I make, and every path I take may spring from a heart kept for You.

I surrender my heart to You today. 

Keep it, purify it, and use it for Your glory. 

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
