Be Still

Be still, and know that I am God.

(Psalm 46:10)

Be still, and I will fight for you.

(Exodus 14:14)

Be still, and don’t be anxious.

Philippians 4:6 (NLT)

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

Be still, and allow me to be your cornerstone.

Isaiah 28:16 (AMP)

Therefore the Lord God says this, “Listen carefully, I am laying in Zion a Stone, a tested Stone, a precious Cornerstone for the [secure] foundation, firmly placed. He who believes [who trusts in, relies on, and adheres to that Stone] will not be disturbed or give way [in sudden panic].

Be still, and acknowledge your weaknesses that I may be strong in you.

2 Corinthians 12:9 (AMP)

but He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you [My lovingkindness and My mercy are more than enough—always available—regardless of the situation]; for [My] power is being perfected [and is completed and shows itself most effectively] in [your] weakness.” Therefore, I will all the more gladly boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ [may completely enfold me and] may dwell in me.

Be still, and see what I can do in your life.

Isaiah 28:6 (GNT)

He will give a sense of justice to those who serve as judges, and courage to those who defend the city gates from attack.

Be still, and recognise where you fail so that you may learn and be built stronger.

Matthew 11:29 (GWT)

Place my yoke  [A yoke is a wooden bar placed over the necks of work animals so that they can pull plows or carts] over your shoulders, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble. Then you will find rest for yourselves.

Be still, and do not allow yourself to be shaken.

1 Corinthians 15:58 (NLT)

So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.

Be still, and remain steadfast.

Isaiah 40:31 (CEV)

But those who trust the Lord will find new strength. They will be strong like eagles soaring upward on wings; they will walk and run without getting tired.

Be still, and seek me in your distresses.

Psalm 50:15 (ISV)

Call on me in the day of distress; I will deliver you, and you will glorify me."

Be still, and listen.

John 10:27 (TEB)

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

Be still, and choose this day whom you will serve.

Joshua 24:14-15 (GWT)

“Fear the Lord, and serve him with integrity and faithfulness…. and serve only the Lord. But if you don’t want to serve the Lord, then choose today whom you will serve. 

Be still, and know that I am God.

Exodus 3:14 (GNT)

God said, “I am who I am. You must tell them: ‘The one who is called I Am ^[THE LORD^] has sent me to you.’
