What if the most courageous move you make today is to stop? We set aside a few quiet minutes with Pastor Robert Young to explore a simple, restorative practice: choosing stillness and trusting that God will meet us there. Instead of chasing peace through more effort, we lean into a slower pace, notice the rush inside our bodies, and ask a clear question that cuts through the noise: where is God inviting me to slow down and simply be with Him?

Across these few focused moments, we map hurry’s hotspots—work emails, family demands, the commute—and learn how to invite God into each one. A short affirmation becomes our anchor: “I choose stillness, and I know God will meet me there.” Repeating those words helps retrain the mind and body to resist frantic habits and return to presence. The shift isn’t about doing less for the sake of it; it’s about moving from performance to communion, from control to trust. As we sit with the affirmation, everyday places start to feel different: the desk becomes an altar, the car a moving chapel, the kitchen a quiet sanctuary.

We close with a gentle prayer for alignment—“Father, calm my mind and right my heart”—and permission to linger without rushing or trying to arrive at a spiritual milestone. Along the way, we highlight the practical benefits of this spiritual rhythm: softer speech, clearer focus, and resilience that comes from knowing not everything depends on us. If your schedule runs your soul, this short guide offers a reset you can return to anytime.

If this reflection helps you breathe a little deeper, share it with a friend who needs a pause, subscribe for more guided moments, and leave a quick review so others can find space to be still too.
