I’ve been thinking about it a long time. I’ve been praying for wisdom.
Am I too busy? Is it a mental thing? Am I just lazy? I’ve prayed for peace. It seemed illusive.
I’m learning if I want peace, I have to invest time with Jesus. It’s not quick. It’s a marathon. It’s daily.
Find times in the day to stop. Turn off the device. The TV. Yes, even the radio.
What’s my aversion to quiet? What am I afraid of? Take a 10 minute break, and just sit in His presence.
You can read His word. You can pray. Listen to a sermon or a song. Or just sit and let Him love you.
I’m finally realizing Jesus is it. He’s the one. He provides. He soothes. He settles. He gives clarity.
Peace.
Jesus talks about abiding with Him. That means removing some things, and adding Him.
It’s starting to make sense.
I’m just scratching the surface. But it turns out what I’ve known for 40 years is true. Jesus is the way!
So be with Him!
