Lately, racing mind won’t stop to seek Jesus. When I read my devotions, I think about everything else except the Lord. Even though my life seems full enough, I try to squeeze more in. My stress increases while my mind works harder to stay focused on God.

Exodus 14:14 is, “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still”. (Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011). God desires for me to quiet my brain and reflect on Him. Last week I had to “fake it until I made it“. I pushed through my devotions even though I did not feel like it.

Continuing to stare at words did not change my heart. I started to see my quiet time as an opportunity for worship. I forced my racing mind to praise God and my heart started to follow. I am grateful to serve an awesome creator who meets me where I am and does not let me stay there. God helps me still my heart and mind so I can draw close to Him.
