Day 4 - Cease Striving

For many of us, life is filled with activities and responsibilities that cause us to become human “doings” rather than human beings. God asks us to pause for minute, to be still, and to cease striving. In all of the hustle and bustle, this may seem absurd; however, taking time to consider God and all the He is doing will bring great strength and harmony in your life. You see, when you pause to consider who our God is and all that He has done, and all that He is doing, your focus will change. Instead of just “trying to get things done” or focusing

on all the “have to’s,” you can begin to experience peace knowing that God is the One at work on your behalf.
