Day 26 — Strength for Mothers
Still Before Him
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
Psalm 46:10
Motherhood is noise. Good noise, hard noise, constant noise. Voices asking for things, demands arriving, problems needing solutions. And in the middle of it all, God says: stop.
Be still. Know.
This isn't escaping reality — it's recalibration. When you stop, even for just a few minutes, something shifts. You remember who God is. You remember that He is the one who resolves what you cannot. You remember that the world doesn't depend on your productivity to keep spinning.
Stillness is a form of faith. It says: I trust enough to let go. To stop trying to control everything. To let God be God while I simply stay quiet in His presence.
This can sound impossible on a hectic day. But it can be one minute. It can be the drive home from school, in the car, before you walk through the door. It can be that first cup of coffee in the morning, in silence.
Seek out that moment. It transforms more than any to-do list ever could.
Prayer
Lord, teach me to stop. May the silence before You not frighten me, but restore me. I still my heart now and acknowledge: You are God. Amen.
