Cease Striving

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on the earth." (Psalm 46:10)

I was pondering this one day exactly what it meant to cease striving. Maybe to  stop trying to figure things out and do things on own power. Perhaps stopping the treadmill of life trying to always be busy as you feel if you aren’t you may not be worthy. Maybe you want everyone to like you and when they don’t you have wasted brain cells trying to understand why. 

Let things go that are weighing your mind down. Things you have zero control over. Pray without ceasing. That is one thing to not cease from. 

Fill your mind with things above. Talk to God regularly. Don’t try to get everyone to like you. Mainly try to please God. 

PRAYER: Father God help me rest. Period. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
