Be still and see

My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. (Exodus 33:14)

 What shall the believer do in times of darkness? Sit still and listen. Let him trust in the name of the Lord and rely upon his God. Let him just sit still, as the Scripture says—be still and listen.
 The first thing to do is to do nothing, to stand still. That goes against human nature, but that’s the wise thing to do. There’s a saying, “When you’re rattled, don’t rush.” In other words, when you aren’t sure you know what to do next, don’t rush blindly into anything, hoping for the best.
 Be still and see what God will do. It is when we are quiet and trusting in God that He can work. Worry often prevents Him from doing all that He can. If our minds are distracted and our hearts are stressed, we’re not in a position where He can do much for us. The peace of God must quiet our minds and bring rest to our hearts.
 Put your hand into the hand of God and let Him lead you out into the bright sunshine of His love. Be still. Let Him do the work for you.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. —Virginia Brandt Berg [1]

Peace comes not from the absence of trouble, but from the presence of God. —Unknown
