Running in Circles
Our lives are so busy
nowadays. How do we keep up with all of
the commotion, the blogs, e-mails, activities, work...that consume us? We rush around in circles and have little
energy left for quiet time. Even our
home life becomes a scuttle to complete chores and check them off. Are you so
task oriented that you are unable to sit still and enjoy the beauty of summer?
How do we center
ourselves in God when our minds dart to so many areas that require our
attention? How do we learn to "be still" and ground our lives in the
Lord (Psalm 46:10: Be still and know that I am God)? Please tell me if you've figured this out!
In Romans 12:2, we
read, "do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you
may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and
perfect." I can best renew my mind when I sit still and pray. This means
finding a quiet place and sometimes forcing myself to be still before God. When I can't figure out what to pray for, I
tell God all that I am thankful for. It
is amazing how much calmer I become when I take the time to relate with God.
I ask you too to take time to be still before God and share your busy life and your gratefulness with Him.
