I like to sing to my soul, "Be still." It's calming at those times when the lion's fiery darts get lodged in my thought closet and I need a little relief! You may find it interesting what telling your soul to "be still" can accomplish. Pour yourself a cup of calming tea and ask God's Spirit to teach you today. The exact phrase "Be still, my soul" isn't a scriptural quote, but the principle of being still and calming down is throughout the Bible. We must know what to say when we talk to ourselves, and telling ourselves the scriptural truth of "be still" is imperative. Evidently, that's what David did.
Read Psalm 132:2 and post what David said he had done.
Psalm 131:2 (New International Version, ©2010)
2 But I have calmed and quieted myself,
I am like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child I am content.
"I have calmed and quieted myself"
