The Power of a Pause

You must either slow down, or you'll break down." Drawing from Nehemiah's overwhelming, high-pressure life as both the king's cupbearer and the leader rebuilding Jerusalem's walls, Bishop Dale C. Bronner unpacks statio — the ancient practice of the holy pause — and why building brief moments of stillness into your busiest days isn't a luxury, it's what keeps you from burning out, missing God, and mistaking a divine interruption for an inconvenience. You'll learn: Three postures of prayer that fit into an overcrowded life: praying as you go, as you know, and as you sow What statio is, where the practice comes from, and how to use it between life's natural transitions Why there's a space between stimulus and response — and how to use that space instead of skipping it Seven specific things that happen inside a real pause, from renewed strength to sharpened discernment How to recognize when what looks like an interruption is actually a divine appointment Why your worth was never tied to what you produce 📖 Scriptures referenced: Nehemiah 5:14-19 (NLT) · Nehemiah 1:4 · Matthew 9:37-38 · John 11:40-43 · Matthew 12:28 · John 10:10 🎥 Watch here: https://youtu.be/NuMBVbOpPdM 🔔 Subscribe for weekly messages from Word of Faith. 📱 Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for daily encouragement. #ThePowerOfAPause #WordOfFaith #SundayService #Sermon
