A Holy Week Devotional

The call to be still

Since the beginning of the Church, time has been intentionally set aside to slow down.

To slow down as a Christian community and remember.

To remember not only what has happened in the past, but also what directs and shapes the future.

And for you millennial, Gen Z, or even boomer sitting in front of your device right now—this matters.

Why?

Because life is loud. The world feels unstable. And if you’ve checked the news lately, things feel absolutely chaotic. In times like these, intentionally slowing down and remembering Jesus can keep you from being swept up into fear, distraction, or choices you may regret later.

When you remember the One who holds the future, you can actually move forward with peace, confidence, and power.

So here’s the question:

What does it look like for a busy person living in the future—yes, with AI and all—to slow down and see Jesus in what feels like one of the craziest times to be alive?

That’s why I created this mini Easter devotional for you—and for anyone you want to share it with.

Enjoy, and be still.

An Easter Devotional

“I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” – Psalm 16:8.

Situations come up in our lives all the time that try to shake us.
But David shows us something powerful here:

Our stability is connected to where our attention is.

If our eyes drift to our circumstances, we start to feel unstable.
But when we keep our eyes on the Lord, we find steadiness.

So here’s the question for you this week:

What does it actually look like for you to keep your eyes on Jesus — especially in the areas where you feel shaken?

Maybe for you, this looks like taking this verse and actually praying it out loud.

Something like:

“I will keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken —
not in my finances,
not in raising my kids,
not in ___."

And just begin to speak that over your life this week.

I’m praying that as you fix your attention on Him,

you experience real steadiness and peace.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
