A Prayer for the Joy of Being by Nicolet Bell

There is a sacred invitation found in Psalm 46:10—to be still before the Lord.In today's episode by Nicolet Bell, she reflects on those first few weeks of welcoming a new baby boy. As a self-described “doer,” this episode explores how difficult—and necessary—it is to slow down and simply be. Through the ancient practice of breath prayers, we’re reminded that stillness is not passive but deeply formative. Whether in seasons of grief or joy, our need for God’s presence remains the same.This episode invites us to breathe deeply, trust God’s sovereignty, and rest in the truth that He is at work—even when we are not.

Reference: Psalm 46:10

Prayer: Be still and know, and that He is God. Be still and know that he is God. Father, whether we find ourselves today in a season of grief, a season of joy, or somewhere in between, may you help us to experience the joy of being- being found in your presence being known by you.
