it’s crucial that you be still.
He fights when youve been fired from your job and the money stops coming in.
God fights for you.

Hes been fighting for you the entire time, but sometimes its hard to notice.
The world is deafening.
If you want to hear, you must lean in.
Answers come, sometimes suddenly, sometimes slowly.
You only need to be still.
Prayer is accessible to you.
It isnt a far-off mystical act only reserved for a chosen few.
God wants whats best for you, though you may not see or understand it.
Ask for the impossible things.
Every prayer is answered.
Look for the signs.
Lean in and listen.
I was a bridesmaid at a wedding where the bride wanted us to wear a mint green dress.
Where was I going to find that?
After driving around to higher-end stores without any success, I went to the thrift shop.
I was done, defeated.
I walked around the store and found nothing.
Both were my size and under 20 bucks.
I felt an urge to pause, to look up, to be still.
Thats when I saw the dress.
Its a moment of surrender.
To surrender is to be still.
It doesnt mean giving up.
Your body repairs itself while you sleep at night.
Its able to identify the areas of hurt youve been masking throughout the day.
It brings awareness and healing to areas of need.
Sometimes these come out in dreams.
Healing is about conserving your energy before your life starts to get out of balance.
You know your life is out of balance through the resistance you feel.
Its when you fight and get nowhere.
Stillness starts with taking deep breaths.
Its an environment that makes you feel calm and comfortable.
Its where you find your truth.
Sometimes you realize that you dont even want the things youve been stressing about.
Other times you affirm that you want them more than ever.
It renews your strength to keep going.
The life that you want is yours.
Its a life thats more than material possessions.
