Good morning.

“Be still, and know that I am God ..." (Psalm 46:10)

Sometimes the load we bear is one of constant struggle; other times it can be an excess of good things. Frequently, though, life is a mix of things we’d rather not tackle and some that we desire, such as a school deadline, a new baby, a promotion at work, a weighty decision we have to make.

Often, what we need to do is pause to rest in Christ’s loving presence. We don't need perfect conditions to pause. Remember that God is with us in every moment. So taking  even the briefest break in our busy schedules can make for a meaningful encounter with Him.

The next time we feel stress building, take a moment to reset. Say a prayer, breathe the air God has given us, and simply rest. The more often we do this, the more of Him we’ll experience, and the less of our worries.

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble."  (Psalm 46:1)

Blessings.
