Why is it important to be still for a Christian woman?

Be still and Listen

As a Christian woman, it is easy to become caught up in the busyness of life. There are so many responsibilities and tasks to juggle that there needs to be more time in the day. However, it is essential to remember that there is great value in taking time to be still and quiet. In this blog, I will explore the importance of being still and why it is essential for Christian women.

What does it mean to be still?

Being still means intentionally quieting your mind, body, and spirit. It is about creating space to disconnect from the noise and distractions of the world and focus on God's presence. Being still can take many forms, such as prayer, meditation, journaling, or sitting quietly in nature.

Why is being still crucial for Christian women to hear God's voice?

In the busy moments of life, it can be easy to miss the gentle whispers of God's voice. As the Psalmist wrote, Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God." by taking time to be still, we can tune out the world's noise and tune in to God's voice. When we are still, we create space to hear from God and receive the wisdom and guidance we need.

1. To cultivate a deeper relationship with God

When we are constantly on the go, it can be challenging to cultivate a deep relationship with God. Being still allows us to connect with God deeper and develop a more intimate relationship. We can profoundly experience God's love, grace, and peace in the stillness.

2. To gain perspective

Amid a busy and chaotic world, it can be difficult to gain perspective. Being still allows us to recover from our circumstances and gain a fresh perspective. In the stillness, we can see things more clearly and better understand God's plan for our lives.

3. To prioritize what truly matters

Finally, being still helps us to prioritize what truly matters in life. It is easy to become consumed with the demands of work, family, and other responsibilities. Being still allows us to step back and evaluate our priorities, ensuring we put God first.

In conclusion, being still is essential for Christian women. By intentionally quieting our minds, bodies, and spirits, we can hear God's voice, cultivate a deeper relationship with Him, find rest and renewal, gain perspective, and prioritize what truly matters. As Psalm 23:2-3 says, He makes me lie down in green pastures, leads me beside quiet waters, and refreshes my soul. May we all take time to be still and experience the refreshment of God's presence in our life.
