“Be still, and know that I am God” – Psalms 46:10

Workshop #1

Who wrote Psalms 46 and why?

Psalms 46 was written by King David. The psalmist writes as the representative of those who have
recently passed through some terrible crisis of anxiety, who have seen with their own eyes a
manifestation of God’s power on behalf of His people.

Being Still: Exemplified

• 1 Kings 17 [Elijah and the drought]


• 1 Samuel 17 [David and Goliath]
• Exodus 14 [Moses and parting the red sea]

Being Still: The Practice of the Presence of God

What would happen if we each built some time for stillness into each day? If we took a few
moments to be still and just breathe?

If we took a few minutes just to listen to the sound of


our own hearts beating? What if, in listening to our
heart beating, we began a short dialogue with God?

Take five minutes, and for the first minute, just sit, and
listen to your heart beat. Close off distraction. Then, in
time with your heart beating begin to pray “Lord, have
mercy” repeatedly. Do this for a minute. Then take
another short phrase like “I love You Lord,” and say
that for a minute in time to your heart beating.

This stillness will bring about a calmness in us, which


will result in calm thoughts and calm actions. It will
place God at the center of what we are doing at a given
moment.

God wants us to know Him

11
”For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of
evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me,
and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me
with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, says the LORD…”
– Jeremiah 29:11-14
