practice being still

This comes from a Bible study I recently did on Bible.com, AKA the YouVersion app

Stillness is a discipline that takes continual, conscious practice, but the act of stillness sharpens our sense and makes us more aware of God's presence in our present circumstances. 

How to practice being still - three actions. 

1. Acknowledge your limitations. (What are you feeling? It's okay to not feel okay. Learn to process through your feelings and allow yourself to feel them and let them go.)

2. Lay down your expectations. (What's making you feel anxious or afraid? Visual yourself putting those things in a box and handing it over to God. Ask Him to replace those things with reminders of His promises.)

3. Pick up God's declarations. (Spend time going over the promises He gives you in return. Ask Him to show you which ones to focus on for that day.)
