INSPIRASUNS

I’m in the middle of a very large project at work. There are a lot of moving parts and some pretty tight deadlines but it’s coming together. Yesterday was a day where I was in full git ‘r done mode. I was moving through this project when a wrench got tossed in. We’ve all been there, right? You’ve layed out your plan, things are falling into place, when something out of your control happens, ugh.

Well, I was able to adjust, however as it happens many times with backup plans, it took way longer to get this part of my project accomplished. I found myself at one point saying out loud “Ah, thank you Father!” when a piece I was printing turned out just as it should 🙂 . At the end of the day, everything was completed, but I have to say I was pretty tired both physically and mentally.

This morning as I sat and talked with Father I was thanking him for guiding me yesterday, even through the bumpy parts. I was asking Him for a message I could share today here in this little blog. At that point what I heard was, “Sit, just sit and be for a bit”. I could physically feel my shoulders relax, and that tingly feeling I get when I know Father is present, ya, I got that too. I think God was telling me to just relax here for a bit and be with Me. So, I sat and let my mind clear. I focused on Him, really focused on Him.

Have you ever noticed that when you sit and pray, it’s difficult to stay focused? I find myself praying, and then my mind takes a wander, I have to really focus on coming back to the most important thing I can do, talk with Father. That’s why when I have my morning and evening chat with Father, I literally talk out loud, like I’m having a conversation. It keeps me focused.

So this morning, when I was sitting in silence, trying to clear my mind, it really took some effort. What I found though, was the tension, the build-up of the last few days, it just released. When I was able to just sit and be with Father, when I truly focused on Him, everything else faded away 🙂 .

Friends, I think it’s important that we take these times to just sit and be with God. It’s important to let Him wipe away the things that keep us from focusing on him. So today, I encourage you to take just a little bit of time to sit and be. Be quiet and focus totally on Him. Feel yourself relax and know that Father is filling you with what you need.

Have a great day my friends 🙂 .

The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.
