Scripture: Stop striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the [b]nations, I will be exalted on the earth.”
– Psalm 46:10 (NASB)
“In using all means, seek God alone. In and through every outward thing, look only to the power of His Spirit, and the merits of His Son. Beware you do not get stuck in the work itself; if you do, it is all lost labor. Nothing short of God can satisfy your soul. Therefore, fix on Him in all, through all, and above all…Remember also to use all means as means-as ordained, not for their own sake…” ― John Wesley, How to Pray: The Best of John Wesley on Prayer
Prayer:
Father, help me to stop striving and creating more chaos in my life and the lives of others. Help me be disciplined to carve out time to be still before You. I trust You. I am completely dependent on You. Help me trust You more and depend on You alone. Help me not get caught up in working for myself or others or even You. Quiet my spirit through Your Spirit within me. You are God and I am not.
