God gave us a precious gift in these words, “Be still and know that I am God.” He knew we would have a tough time accepting this gift, so He patiently teaches us how to be patient and rest in Him through the difficulties we face every day.

When we feel helpless, we need these words, this promise, more than ever.

Sometimes it’s hard to remain calm. It’s hard to trust. But fully comprehending this command from our heavenly Father is life changing. Psalm 37:7 reassures us to , “Be still in the presence of the Lord.”

We can rest, be calm, be untroubled, and be at peace knowing that when troubles threaten to overtake us, God’s presence surrounds us.

Bear patiently, the cross of grief or pain
Leave to thy God, to order and provide
In every change, He faithful will remain
Be still, my soul, thy best thy heavenly friend
Through thorny ways, leads to a joyful endBe still, my soul, thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past
Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake
All now mysterious shall be bright at last
Be still, my soul, the waves and wind still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt belowIn You I rest, in You I found my hope
In You I trust, You never let me go
I place my life within Your hands alone
Be still, my soulBe still, my soul, the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone
Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored
Be still, my soul, when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed, we shall meet at lastIn You I rest, in You I found my hope
In You I trust, You never let me go
I place my life within Your hands alone
Be still, my soulIn You I rest, in You I found my hope
In You I trust, You never let me go
I place my life within Your hands alone
Be still, my soul
Be still, my soul
Be still, my soulSource: MusixmatchSongwriters: Jason Ingram / Kari Jobe / TraditionalBe Still My Soul (In You I Rest) lyrics © Worship Together Music
