Not Rushing Prayer


Make no mistake - God hears our prayers, whether they're quick or slow. But often the pace of our lives mimics the pace of our hearts, and we need to allow ample time for God to speak into not only our lives but the lives of those around us. How many life-giving moments have we missed by rushing, saying Amen and being done with it?

We're often impatient with everything from slow people to the slow lane in traffic. Yet, I believed God in His kindness says - Be still. Breath in and out. Go slow, and remember that I am God, your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

To do so is to know that God is God. To do so is to trust. To do so is to live.

Father, thank You for being my ever-present help in good times an bad. Give me the grace to be still and know that You're' God.
