Lifelong Projects :4

Project 4:  Being still…..

“Be still, and know that I am God” Psalm 46:10

This is by far the hardest thing for me to do…be still…

In my last blog, I explained how difficult it was for me to be still. Well I realized that in order to do these projects and make the necessary changes I need to learn to be still. God has been nudging me to do just this. How?

Well, in little ways, for example every day I post prayers on Prayer Place and the last few days my computer doesn’t respond as quickly as I want it to…..it’s nothing to do with the computer, it is fine, it is just me trying to do a hundred things at once…..So I have to slow down and wait…..once again not easily done….Then there’s the physical signs, dizziness when I try to hurry from one room to another, tiredness when I’m trying to do multiple things at once….and the list goes on.

So I decided it was time to do what God was trying to tell me to do…..Be still and do one thing at a time. Rest and enjoy each day for what it was…..a gift. Don’t let anxiety disrupt my day and trust that God will give me patience to wait and strength to do all that I need to do….

“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul…” Psalm 23:1-3

Prayer:

God, I pray you help me to be still when I need to. I pray you help me to do your will and not my own. I pray you keep me on the path you have already prepared for me to travel down and make all my paths straight, in the name of your son Jesus, I pray your will be done. Amen
