Be Still and Know that I am God
This beautiful statement is a Bible verse, Psalm 46:10. It is in the stillness that we can experience God’s presence.
Nature is a great way to experience God’s presence. Looking at a breath-taking sunset, a snow-capped mountain, or a deer looking back at you in the woods, are all instances when we can feel a connection to God and the oneness of all creation.
It’s hard to be still in a world that calls us to stress and strive and to be constantly busy. But it is in the stillness that we can know God at a deeper level. It is in the stillness that we can experience the peace that surpasses all understanding.
WELCOME
I’m Jackie Trottmann and I would love to be your guide to guide you to a life filled with joy and flow by experiencing a deeper relationship with God.
For most of my life, I did not live with joy and flow! I held marketing and sales positions in the corporate world for three decades. There I was rewarded for the stressing and striving that our Western culture promotes.
But the stress was becoming unbearable. I was unaware of a mind, body, spirit connection. My soul began to ask the question, "Is this all there is?"
Instead of exploring that question, I medicated to numb the spiritual pain with busyness and alcohol while stuffing down my feelings with food. In the process, I developed an eating disorder. I was unaware of that too.
On the outside I was wildly successful. But I finally became aware that inside, I was spiritually bankrupt. I was living a fragmented life, not one of wholeness. I didn't nurture my body, mind, and spirit.
That has all changed as a result of going within to find healing and joy by deepening my relationship with God and allowing God to love me, lead me, and guide me. I want the same for you!
The process I followed was first to be still. As a result of that stillness, it came to my awareness the amount of emotional, spiritual, and even physical weight I was carrying. Because of this awareness, I was able to let it go. Finally, I then trusted God, trusted myself, and trusted others. Now I can live life with joy, flow, and freedom.
That has all changed as a result of going within to find healing and joy by deepening my relationship with God and allowing God to love me, lead me, and guide me. I want the same for you!
How Do You Deepen Your Relationship with God?
You do that through spiritual practices, like prayer, meditation, meditating on Scripture, and contemplative prayer.
I created a free, self-guided mini course called Be Present with God covering these four spiritual practices through short videos, audios, and transcripts.
You will find other resources here and on my blogs: https://GuidedChristianMeditation.com and https://www.JackieTrottmann.com.
By deepening your relationship with God, you will transform your anxiety into peace, your fear into courage, and any self-condemnation into self-acceptance and self-love. I hope that you will join me in living a life with joy, flow, and freedom.
