“…You are anxious and bothered about so many things, but only a few things are necessary, really only one…”

Today….I woke up early and had time for prayer and my Lenten readings, time to write and just wait for the morning to appear.  I arose from these quiet moments surprised to find a long to do list unwinding in my head.  It’s Lent I cried in my head,  I want to savor this time, be intentional in walking with Jesus on His way to Calvary not be driven by a to do list.  As I was making my bed, with all these “do’s” swimming around, that still, small voice called me.   I set my timer for 20 minutes and sat in silence and stillness.  The word I took into my meditation was “clarity”…and the word  I came out with was “peace.”  May the blessing of peace be yours today as you listen to that still small voice that continually beckons us to come… come and be refreshed… come and find peace in My presence.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.  Let not your heart be troubled nor let it be fearful”
