When life gets in overload or overwhelm what do you do?
It’s so easy to become anxious and worried with everything going on in the world around us. Being consumed by news reports or even if there is overwhelm at work, home or in your heart and mind, there is one practise Jesus often did himself.
He withdrew. “But He Himself withdrew [in retirement] to the wilderness (desert) and prayed.”
Luke 5:16 AMPC
Do you just keep going, pushing through or do you stop to acknowledge what your heart needs? ☺️
Is it time to come aside with God?
Be still and know Him in the midst of the chaos, the busyness of work, the voices crowding out Gods voice, the noise of the tv and even social media, to hear Gods voice, to worship and withdraw into solitude to just be with the Father.
This was Jesus go to, even in the midst of healing, feeding and being there for the crowds that sought Him.
He went to seek God above all, even He the son of God needed to, so why don’t we?
Find that space. Stop the hustle, turn off the noise and seek solitude with God, seek His presence and clarity of heart and mind will come.
It might be a walk, a coffee break in a quiet space, a mountainside retreat, a favourite chair at home, but find your space to come aside, I’m sure your heart, mind and body will thank you for it!
Be still O my soul. 🙏❤️
