Carrots and Sticks 

A 20-Day Easter/Lent Devotional

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16:
DAY 16 of 20
Silence

R2800: This challenge has likely forced you to move your body more than usual. That’s good, that makes you strong. But there is also strength in stillness. Staying present in stillness can be challenging. With distractions buzzing all day, it’s easy to avoid true quiet. Even as I write this, my phone has buzzed multiple times. Take a few deep breaths, settle your mind, and prepare for today’s verse.

Verse “Be still and know that I am God.”  Psalm 46:10

What if I believed this more deeply?

Action: Take 10 minutes to sit quietly and just breathe. Seriously, set a timer.
