Exodus 14:14 NLT - The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” 

To be still when everything around you seems to be going wrong is hard.
   You’re feeling overwhelmed!
   You’re feeling hurt!
   You’re feeling  ashamed!
   You’re feeling frustrated!
   You’re feeling depressed!
BUT GOD….HAS SAID BE STILL!
It’s no secret that the enemy will try everything he can do to make you feel every negative emotion. He looks for any opening to sneak in to cause chaos. The bible says in:

1 Peter 5:8 NLT - Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 

Through it all, God is there with you. Focus, and you will see there was never a moment you were alone. I pray that brought a smile to your face because HE loves you so much! He loves you so much that HE:
   Hears your cries of “God, I’m so tired, help me!”
   He takes in the breath of whatever heaviness you have been carrying.
   He collects your every tear drop!

              BE STILL! BE STILL! BE STILL!

In HIS presence, you will find everything you have been searching for and everything you didn’t even know you needed. Drop and let go of everything the enemy is trying to pile on to you. It’s time to run into the arms of YOUR FATHER and BE STILL….rest!!! Recognize that in your moment of stillness, you begin to focus and see the hand of God move on your behalf even in the littlest things. He will make a song that you don’t even have on your Playlist play at just the right moment, so you know HE is right there with you! He’s never left you! He loves you more than you can ever imagine. He has plans for you and maybe it’s things you never thought you could do but if you remain still and let HIM do what HE does, you will recieve the peace, joy, love and so much more, only HE can give you.  So I encourage you today. If you’re still reading this, GOD knew and is saying,  “Push through, look past the lies of the enemy and focus on ME. BE STILL, I LOVE YOU!”

Always remember: As you find yourself Waiting in the Midst – God is there!
