Some of us have a built-in restlessness with which we have to deal. We are doers, always busy, goal driven; new ideas and tasks keep pulling us forward. We keep adding things to our to-do list, although is is still filled with unfinished tasks. We are driven. Our electronic devices tend to reinforce our restlessness. There is a spiritual fallout from this. It works against patience and silence; it is the enemy of waiting and meditation. Better and lasting things are done when we allow the Spirit to work with us and through us. This requires slowing down and pausing in His Presence.
Lord, help me to learn better how to wait, how to get out of my energy into Your energy. Teach me how to rest in You. Amen.
