Be Still

So I've been really stressed lately about a lot of things. I've been stressed about my grades, about my friends, and about life in general. I get so caught up in everything that's going on around me that it's hard not to be stressed out. I mean, I'm not doing really well in school, and one of my friends grates on my nerves whenever I'm with her and she's a little clingy. Especially in this one class we have. And then I've got this other acquaintance who's not a Christian, and she likes to argue about religion and things that I believe because of religion. It's just been a really stressful school year. But this morning, while I was getting ready for school, I just wanted to read my Bible. Don't get me wrong, I do read my Bible, but most of the time it's after school or right before I go to bed because I have more time then. But this morning I went to read my Bible and decided to read Psalm 46. There's a really comforting verse in Psalm 46 that I love. I knew that verse was there, and it's one of my favorites. In the New King James Version, it says, "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" I really just felt calmed, and at peace. No matter what's going on in my life, God is God, and that's a comfort.
