Not Rushing Prayer - All Our Daily Bread Daily Devotionals for 2026

Bible in a Year: Job 20-21, Acts 10:24-48

Be still, and know that I am God.
Psalm 46:10

Today's Scripture & Insight: . Make no mistake—God hears our prayers, whether they're quick or slow. But often the pace of our lives mimics the pace of our hearts, and we need to allow ample time for God to speak into not only our lives but the lives of those around us. How many life-giving moments have we missed by rushing, saying amen, and being done with it?

We're often impatient with everything from slow people to the slow lane in traffic. Yet, I believe God in His kindness says, "Be still. Breathe in and out. Go slow, and remember that I am God, your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." To do so is to know that God is God. To do so is to trust. To do so is to live.

By: John Blase

Reflect & Pray
Recall a time when you slowed down and listened to God in your prayer time. How did that feel? What actions can you put into place to still yourself in God's presence and know Him?

Father, thank You for being my ever-present help in good times and bad. Give me the grace to be still and know that You're God.
