Staying Calm

7/24/2012

2 Comments

 
Today, while thinking about a recent article regarding stress, I remembered an interview I had with A Christian Writer’s World. Here is a question I was asked regarding my last novel, A Promise for Tomorrow. How do you keep your sanity in our run, run, run world?

My response: When I first wake up I thank God for His protection during the night and then I commit the new day to Him. My best intention is to then have a quiet time but, I confess, the “to do” list often jumps in and, before I know it, stress take its toll. When this happens it’s like my car. If I don’t give my Honda proper maitenance it needs repair. The same is true for this ole believer’s soul.

Yesterday I heard another interview on a Christian call-in show. The caller said, “When I wake up I say, ‘God, here is my head, my heart and my hand. Use me today for your glory.’”

I like this woman’s prayer and hope to remember it when I wake up tomorrow.

I like the idea of thanking God when you wake up. it is hard to set aside quiet time in the morning because you imediately start thinking of your to do list for the day.

You are so right, but the Holy Spirit continues to nudge us and, when we stop to "Draw near to God . . ." (James 4:8) we always find Him there waiting. Thanks for responding and enjoy this day!
