Wednesday, April 22, 2009 Peaceful Mind by Donna L. Watkins
Our world seems to be spinning faster and faster and the old phrase, "stop the world I want to get off" rings more true in our ears than ever before. It's a loud, busy and very noisy world. Too many voices. Too much information. Too much input. How do we process it all and live peacefully within it?
Just as the Lord's Prayer tells us to ask for our "daily bread," we must find our daily peace in our quiet time with the Lord each day. Being still and knowing He is God will prepare you for the onslaught of decisions, troubles and trials that come your way within each 24 hours.
We won't find a quiet place amidst our day unless we create one. And for those who are naturally geared to high energy and movement, this is even more of a challenge, but even more necessary. Our body, soul and spirit need rest and stillness. Our bodies were never made for fast lifestyles. Do you ever remember reading anything about Jesus rushing about? He withdrew to quiet places (Luke 5:16) and if He needed this time each day, how much more do we?
