I think sometimes God symbolically strikes us on our hip just to slow us down. Those days when you feel utterly exhausted and are running on 5% battery; you become frustrated because you think that you won't meet those deadlines, or you'll get left behind. For me, that's when God is telling you to slow down and be still, there is something He is trying to tell you. There's something he is trying to show you. ☺💯
I loved this. I’ve been carrying heavy burdens with my family. Alongside working a lot and school. I burned out. Recently what I felt after reading a devotional was “I don’t need you strong, I need you surrendered.” That gave me strength not my own to keep going. Because I for sure don’t have it some days. ‘Be still and know I am God’ This message reminded me of that. Thank you.
Our hurried life style also takes its tole on our relationships with people. I kept God a priority, my job next,but my family came came in third. I didn’t realize my mistake until I retired. Now I’m trying to make up for all the lost time. But the distance and hard feelings are hard to get past. I knew it was about balance, but I just couldn’t do it all.
Sounds like you did your best Rhonda. Life is tough and brings a lot of pressure to bear, some of which is subtle and difficult to identify. It's good to try to reset but don't be too hard on yourself.
God can redeem what was lost 7 fold. Keep praying in! As a Middle ager with 1 grandbaby we are just getting our marriage in track. Be encouraged.. nothing is too hard for the strong arm of the Lord!!
Thank you I’ve allowed my mind to fall into this “hurry” mode Thank you for bringing it before me and to step back and learn to sit in stillness before God and shut the noise of this world down 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🕊️
Psalm 46 has nothing to do with prayer or with being physically still. It is about remembering that God is in charge and to trust him. It is more a rebuke and admonishment than anything. God can get your attention no matter what you are doing. He certainly was not thwarted by Jonah running away or by Paul stoning Christians.
Of course He can, but taking time out to be deliberate, focused & intentional about being in His presence is for our edification and enrichment. If our friendship with others only worked on a 'need-to', 'whenever they can get our attention' basis, we would be very poor, shallow & neglectful friends indeed!

God can redeem all of this and in his sovereignty he has placed you in this season. Praying for you sister @Rhonda Ponda

Such a beautiful sermon! But what is interruptible look like?
Satan gathered his demons around with a devious new mandate. "My minions, if you can't make the Christians sin... make them busy."
