Recently it has been brought to my attention that I need to be still. I can't hear God speaking
to me if I am not still. This is very hard for me to do. It has always been hard for me to sit still
my whole life. I am so easily distracted and my mind can have thoughts jump all over the place. I feel as if God is challenging me to be still. I may not even hear from Him every time, but just to be still, quiet my mind and to be in His presence. I feel that if I can do this, over time, my intimacy with Him will be that much more. I am tired of my quiet time getting to ritualistic. I don't want time spent with God to be something I feel like I have to do. I feel the only way to get beyond that point is to be still. I accept the challenge even if it means I can only do it for 5 minutes a day. I know that like anything, the more I keep at it the better it'll get.
Another challenge I have is to live each day for that day only. I can eliminate much worry and anxiety from my life by doing this. If I am only concerned about the present and not thinking so much ahead I can truely enjoy life the way God intended me to.
All this I learned just by spending time with God. It is amazing how He teaches me each and every day! How is it possible that I am even able to be receptive of what He wants me to know?
I think that is supernatural in itself. :0)
