Day 3. Be still
Verse (King James Version)
Be still, and know that I am God
Psalm 46:10 (KJV, excerpt)
Read
Stillness is rare now. Most of us fill every quiet moment with a phone. This verse is not asking you to be perfect at prayer. It is a very small habit: stop, breathe, and let yourself be known by God instead of busy for God. Five minutes can be enough.
Talk about it
When did you last do nothing at all? What was it like?

Try five minutes of silence with no screen. If thoughts come, let them pass. Notice how you feel afterwards.
