Survival - The Imp[act Of Quiet Time

Psalm 46 verse 10 (NLT) says, “Let go of your concerns. Then you will know that I am God.”

Quiet time is not optional. Even brief stillness reduces stress, calms the mind, restores focus, and creates space to hear God’s direction clearly.

I once entered rough winter surf despite warnings. Powerful swells, cold water, and strong currents quickly replaced confidence with fear as exhaustion overwhelmed me.

After two crushing waves, panic rose before the third approached. Then God spoke, relax. I released control, trusted Him, and surfaced safely, alive, breathing, and deeply grateful.

“Jesus, I got quiet just in time to hear Your voice telling me how to survive! Just for a second but just in time to save my life! Thank You for helping me to become still! Love you Jesus, Amen!”
