Still Instead of Spiraling

from My Morning Devotional · host Lauren Alessi

Why is being still so challenging, especially when life feels overwhelming?In today’s episode, host Lauren Alessi invites us to explore the struggle between spiraling thoughts and spiritual stillness, drawing wisdom from Psalm 46:10: "Be still and know that I am God." Together, we’ll unpack why so many of us find it difficult to pause, trust, and let go of our worries, especially during storms. We'll look honestly at our urge to control, overthink, and fix every problem, and discover what it means to surrender our thoughts and find peace in God’s presence.Let’s come together as a community, seeking to practice stillness instead of spiraling. Join us in prayer and devotion as we learn to trust God with what we cannot control, and take another step toward a calmer, faith-filled day.Tap HERE to send us a text!
