(Psa 46:10 KJV) Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
We are to "cease" (7503) striving. The KJV says, "Be still." The margin in the NASB says to "let go, relax." The idea here seems to be to admit our inadequacy and allow things to fall into God's hands. Anxiety shows a lack of trust. We may have an initial concern but after a chance to have the Holy Spirit speak to us, we should be able to let go.
Note in the context of the verse all of the events that are listed. The author had many good reasons for being crippled with worry. Yet he reminds us to not be consumed with anxiety.
So? Relax. Easy to say. Hard to do. Still the best route to follow.
