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

The first part of this verse has been playing in my head, lately. I am faced with struggles like any normal person, I am faced with indecisions at times. I worry and I get anxious too. When a certain situation is too much for me to handle, when there are things that are beyond my control, I just repeat this verse in my head. My heart is comforted with the thought that God’s hands are at work. I may not understand what is happening, the outcome may not be what I want, but when God is in control, I know that nothing can go wrong. This verse keeps my heart calm, it takes the worries and anxieties away. When I am too excited over something that has not happened yet, when I am overcome with emotions and become impatient or eager over something good to happen, I also think about this verse. Lest, I start taking control of things and will mess up everything.

Being still and knowing that my God takes everything in His stride helps me to patiently wait to experience His blessings at its fullness and to witness His handiwork. So, worry not, fret not, and control your excitement – just be still.
