Growing In Resilience: A Prayer JourneyНамуна

Choose Life

‘Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations’. Pause and remember that God is Lord of your work.

Pausing is a lost skill. 

‘We humans have chosen speed and we thrive on it, more than we generally admit. Our ability to work fast and play fast gives us power,’ claims James Gleick in Faster. Yet we need to pause in order to check that we have first things first and ensure that our lives continue to hold meaning. Only then can we say ‘yes’ without reservation, and ‘no’ without guilt to the demands and expectations of others.
