Finding Peace in the Stillness: Introducing Our Daily Devotional

Finding Peace in the Stillness: Introducing Our Daily Devotional

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of activity and lose sight of what truly matters. Stress, anxiety, and fear can easily consume us, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from God.

That's why we've created this daily devotional resource, a collection of scriptures designed to guide you towards a place of inner peace and unwavering trust in God. For the duration of our "Still Standing" sermon series, we will be posting a devotional thought each weekday written by one of our CityRise leaders, and we hope you will join us on this journey.

Why "Be Still and Know..."?
The phrase "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10) is a powerful reminder that amidst the chaos, there is a source of unwavering strength and peace. When we quiet our minds and turn our attention to God, we begin to experience a sense of calm and centeredness that transcends the external noise.

What to Expect:
Each day, you'll encounter a carefully selected scripture that speaks to the importance of stillness, trust, and surrender. Alongside the scripture, a CityRise leader has created:

• A devotional thought to help you ponder the meaning of the scripture and how it applies to your own life.
• Reflection questions to help you reflect on your own experiences and deepen your understanding of the scripture.
• A suggested prayer and/or action step to encourage you to connect with God through prayer and take steps to put into practice what you learn.

Benefits of Using This Devotional:

• Reduced stress and anxiety: By cultivating a daily practice of stillness and reflection, you can learn to manage stress more effectively and find peace in the midst of chaos.
• Increased trust in God: As you spend time meditating on God's word and experiencing His presence, your faith will grow stronger, and your trust in Him will deepen.
• Improved emotional well-being: By prioritizing connection with God each day, you'll experience greater emotional stability and overall well-being.
• A deeper relationship with God: This devotional will help you cultivate a more intimate relationship with God through regular prayer, reflection, and engagement with His word.

We invite you to join us on this journey of inner peace and unwavering trust. Begin your day with a dose of inspiration and find solace in the stillness of God's presence.
