In times of turmoil, God's people are called to stillness and trust, as seen in Exodus where the Israelites were told to "stand still and see the salvation of the Lord." The Psalms encourage believers to quietly reflect on their emotions and actions, as in Psalms 4, where the reader is advised to "tremble with fear, and do not sin."
