We live in a hustle and bustle society. Society tells us we must go, go, go, but God tells us to slow down and find rest in Him.
Research tells us the average person spends over four hours on our phones a day, and half that time just on social media. That means we are checking our phones every 12 minutes, if not more.
The average mom with kids under 18 spends 20 hours in the car every week taking them from place to place.
It’s hard to be still.
And when we do find the time to try to be still, we have to deal with over 60,000 thoughts every day that consume us—and 75% of those are negative thoughts. Thoughts that can blind us from the truth.
We always tend to be doing something or thinking about something, and even when we aren’t, we can still feel like we should be doing something or thinking about something.
But are we making the time to BE STILL in God’s presence? That’s what this reading plan aims to explore
It’s time to slow down, rest in God’s loving arms, and have the faith to believe that God is in control and is our loving shepherd.
Along with this reading plan, you’ll need a journal. A place where you can write down your thoughts, your prayers, how you see/feel God’s presence as you undertake this journey. Take time to BE STILL. Find a quiet, secluded place and take advantage of whatever time you make.
I would encourage you to open that journal now and answer a few questions:
What in the past are you still holding on to that you need to let go?
What fears or worries of the future are you letting weigh you down?
Have you found peace in the presence of God?
What do you need God to do in your life?
What negative, consuming thoughts do you need to replace with truth from God?
