Don’t you love when you are praying and Our Lord places something on your heart? It’s an amazing feeling which spreads through your body and soul. Today as I was praying, he placed these words on my heart,
“slow down and listen”
As I looked up bible verses to help me reflect on these words, what book popped up but James! Guys, James! The Saint which helped start this mission. God is good!
“My dear brothers and sisters, pay attention to what I say. Everyone should be quick to listen. But they should be slow to speak. They should be slow to get angry.”
James 1:19 NIRV
Slow down. Be patient. Pay attention. Listen. Be still. Be present.
These are the words that come to mind as I meditate upon what the Lord is asking. Not sure about you, but these words keep coming up in my prayer time. I think he is trying to tell me something.
Do you find Our Lord has to repeat himself to you?
We are children of God and just like our children, it takes a few times until we truly listen and learn.
“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”
Psalm 46:10 (NLT)
In Mass yesterday, He placed on my heart to write in my journal daily. Together with him, I am going to do this.
“Let go of the world and Embrace God’s love daily”
I plan on starting this on Jan 1st. Will you join me?
“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”
Colossians 3:2
