What do you do when your mind will not stop and peace feels out of reach?
Psalm 46 offers a very different answer from simply trying harder.

In today's 5-minute Christian devotional, we explore Jesus-centred stillness through Psalm 46:10 and discover why being still is not the same as doing nothing. It means loosening our grip, placing our fears in God's hands and trusting him with the next right step. You may not receive the whole plan today, but you can know God's presence in the middle of the uncertainty. 

If fear, worry or nervous thoughts have been crowding your mind, take a few minutes to stop, breathe and remember that God is still your refuge.

Subscribe for a short Bible devotional each day to help you follow Jesus in ordinary life.
You can also continue your daily rhythm with God through the Battle Drill app, with Scripture, prayer and space to reflect.

Today's Bible reading: Psalm 46:10
