Pause

“But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.”Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬ ‭

Do you ever make yourself just be still or do you flit from one thing to the next with no down time? In this down time do you out your phone aside and just pause?

Jesus knew the importance of being still. In scripture it speaks of Him going to a lonely place and praying. There is great benefit to that practice both spiritually and emotionally. This lonely or quiet place as it is referred to can be a park bench in a safe area where you can actually pray out loud if you so desired.

Take time to declutter your mind from random thinking and give space to the Almighty.  You will find making this a regular practice can help you in a big way to know God is hearing you and whatever your concerns are He has them. Just be still.

PRAYER: Today I thank you for stillness. I thank you even in the noise of life there are places to go and find peace and rest. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
