To be a Christian is not only to believe the teaching of Christ, and to practice it it is not only to try to follow the pattern and example of Christ it is to be so vitally related to Christ that His life and His power are working in us. It is to be in Christ, it is for Christ to be in us.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
Be still, and know that I am God. We must not interpret that 'Be still' in a sentimental manner. Some regard it as a kind of exhortation to us to be silent but it is nothing of the sort. It means, 'Give up -or 'Give in' and admit I am God'. God is addressing people who are opposed to Him.

You pray and make your requests made known unto God, and God will do something.' It is not your prayer that is going to do it, it is not you who is going to do it, but God. 'The peace of God that passeth all understanding'-He, through it all, 'will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus'.
