We live in a time where constant movement is celebrated, and stillness is mistaken for weakness. Society tells us to hustle harder, do more, achieve faster. But our spirits are quietly crying out for rest, for peace, for stillness. In the middle of all the chaos, God whispers a simple yet profound command: “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). This is not a passive suggestion—it’s a divine instruction for our healing and spiritual realignment.
Spiritual stillness is not about doing nothing—it’s about intentionally disconnecting from the noise to reconnect with God. It’s the space where clarity is restored, fear is quieted, and faith is strengthened. When we pause to be still, we’re not losing time—we’re redeeming it. Stillness becomes a sacred act of surrender, where we lay down our anxieties and make room for God’s presence to fill our lives.
For women especially, stillness can feel elusive. We’re often caregivers, workers, leaders, wives, mothers—and so much more. With endless to-do lists and emotional responsibilities, many of us feel guilty even thinking about rest. But in truth, rest is not laziness—it’s obedience. It’s in stillness that God renews our strength and gives us wisdom for the journey ahead.
In Woman… Be Still!, Minister Carol Williams doesn’t just talk about stillness—she lives it, teaches it, and invites others into it. Her words are a gentle guide leading readers to that quiet place where healing begins and purpose is revealed. If you’re overwhelmed, this book is your invitation to pause, breathe, and be filled again.
The world may never stop spinning, but we can choose to step into stillness and let God anchor our hearts in peace.
