Read Psalm 46 . There was a lot of chaos going on when this Psalm was written. Your life may not have the same kind of chaos-- tumbling into the sea and so on- but it probably does seem a little hectic from time to time.
Look again an verse 10 - The orders seem to be " Be still"
What does it look like for you to be still? Take a few minutes and try it . No music, no moving, no talking. Think of how God is your refuge and strength. It's hard to not let your mind wander, so say the verse again and again in your head. Try to listen to God. Write down and blog any comments that come to mind.
When you are done Read Psalm 46 once more, using it at the begininning of your prayer, and then specifically pray for God to help you overcome the factors that distract you from Him the most. ( Parents , this could be done by you as well)
Pastor Greg - We can discuss this on Wednesday .

I can't imagine what it means to "be still." Sometimes I feel like i'm always doing something and have no time to be still. I did try it though, and it felt good to stop and think about Him. It comforting to know He was with me even when I'm really busy.
Nothing really came to my mind saying the verse over again.
Man it's hard to be still.
