In this episode, we’re diving into the importance of stillness in our financial journey, inspired by the wisdom of Psalm 46:10: “Be still and know that I am God.”

We often feel pressured to do more, achieve more, and move faster, but what if true financial peace comes from slowing down and trusting God’s plan?

Today, we’ll explore four practical steps to embrace the practice of being still, helping you find peace, wisdom, and confidence in your money choices.

Join me as we uncover how being still can transform both your finances and your spiritual life.

In this episode, John discusses:

The significance of practicing being still
Trusting God’s timing in financial matters
Faithfully managing financial anxiety and uncertainty

Key Takeaways:

Be still in the morning: Before engaging in financial tasks like checking the stock market or emails, spend a few moments in stillness to pray for wisdom, peace, and the right mindset to guide your decisions throughout the day.
Be still in God’s promises: Keep scriptures such as Psalm 46:10 and Exodus 14:14 close to heart, meditating on them during moments of financial stress to remind yourself of God’s control and faithfulness.
Be still in your purpose: Instead of allowing market shifts or financial news to dictate your decisions, focus on creating a long-term financial strategy aligned with your faith and values, trusting that careful planning will lead to greater peace.
Be still in God’s timing: Understand that stillness in financial matters doesn’t mean inaction but involves waiting faithfully for God’s timing, believing that His plan for your financial goals will unfold at the right moment, even when progress seems delayed.

“In that stillness, God promises you’ll find the peace, the wisdom, and the financial confidence that you have been seeking.”
