Wow, it seems like so much is going on these days and the world is spinning so much faster and faster...can I get off for a while?
This fast paced life can leave us wanting more: more downtime, more time off, more family time, and hopefully more God time. I have been noticing for the past few months how my attitude toward things of this world has been changing. Thank God. However, I would not have been able to notice if I hadn't slowed my own world down a bit.
Ever notice that when you stop to wonder about why things are so crazy - you actually have the power to slow everything down! Then, if you actually pray about getting some relief from the hectic activity -- God brings peace.

So when I try to control it all, it gets crazier; when I give control to the ONE who already has it, it provides peace. Weird.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the PEACE OF GOD, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Jesus Christ." (emphasis added, Phil 4:6-7, NKJV)
