Daily Clamoring…I Need Peace

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” - John 16:33

How is your to do list and even things you forgot to put on it? If you allow daily ‘chores’ to rule you and rob you of peace it is time for rethinking things clamoring for your time. 

Laundry, grocery shopping, bills, job hunting, school, work, vacation planning, and on and on it goes. Where does Jesus and finding peace and solitude fit into that schedule? Don’t allow the tyranny of the urgent to steal your time alone with the Almighty. Don’t turn Jesus into ‘for Sunday only’. 

Make time for developing and nurturing friendships past and present. Also do not forget to pray. Seek a quiet place to sit undisturbed if possible. Allow yourself time to think of and serve others. Talk to Jesus and let go of anything negative and purpose in your heart to be fixated on Jesus. 

PRAYER: Lord I need to cast daily problems far away and truly not let schedules and to do lists drag me away from my focus on you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
