Meditation: When The World Speeds Up, Slow Down

Podcast Summary

Hey Dreamer,

let’s have a heart-to-heart.

If you’re waking up already overwhelmed, if your to-do list is longer than your prayer time, if you’re feeling more pressure than peace—I get it.

You’re not lazy. You’re just tired.

You’ve been holding it all together, but today… can we breathe together? Can we begin again?

Stillness sounds good, but living it? Whew.

It’s hard when your identity has been wrapped in being the helper, the doer, the strong one.

You might be wondering: “If I stop moving, who am I?”

Or maybe: “God, will I still hear You if I’m not constantly performing?”

Stillness feels like a threat when survival has been your rhythm.

But Psalm 46:10 holds the antidote.

“Be still and know that I am God.”

That’s not poetic fluff—it’s a divine strategy.

“Be still” in Hebrew means let go. Loosen the grip. Stop performing.

God isn’t asking for inactivity. He’s asking for intimacy.

Stillness is how you stop reaching for control and start reaching for Him.

Here’s what I’ve learned: fasting without stillness becomes just another performance.

And stillness without fasting becomes fleeting.

But when you bring them together? You make room for God to rewire you.

Spiritually. Emotionally. Even biologically.

Your brain clears. Your nervous system calms. Your spirit reattunes to the frequency of Heaven.

And more importantly—your false identities fall off.

You’re not “only valuable when you’re useful.”

You’re valuable because you are His.

So today, say this with me:

“I do not hustle to be held. I release the pressure. I trust that God speaks in stillness.”

Breathe.

Take that with you today.

Every time your thoughts start spinning or your fingers reach for your phone out of habit—pause.

Breathe again.

You are not lost.

This moment is not wasted.

And your stillness is not weakness—it’s worship.

Let God speak to the you that exists beneath the doing.

The version of you He always intended.

The one who walks with strategy—not stress.

The one who dreams again.

Stay here as long as you need.

And remember: even in stillness, God is moving.

Let’s connect. Not just in the comments, not just with a double tap. I want to know what’s been on your heart. Let’s talk, dream out loud, pray if you need it, laugh if you feel like it, just real space for real conversation.
