They say that actions speak louder than words, but doing nothing, as God instructs in this Psalm, is down right deafening. He is speaking directly to us and instructing us to:

Stop wanting

Stop ______________
Why is it then so hard for us to “let go and let God”?
Dear God, thank you that you are with us: that You are our fortress. (Ps 46:11) Please help us to stop. Help us to stop doing anything that grieves your Spirit in us. Help us to stop, cease, desist, strive, so we can be still, stand silent, be calm, and let go and let be so you will be glorified and all will know you. In Jesus name, Amen.
