Take Comfort in the Quiet Moments

After taking time off from my writing to earn a quick paycheck, I am realizing that distractions such as this are severely impeding my progress. Hopefully next week will be a better week for writing but in the meantime, I am trying to live according to the words in my devotional.

• Do not spoil the quiet hours by wishing them away.
• Instead of resenting the limitations of a weakened body, search for My way in the midst of your circumstances.
• Although you feel cut off from the activity of the world, your quiet trust makes a powerful statement in spiritual realms.
• My strength and power show themselves most effective in weakness.
• Pry your mind away from your problems so you can focus your attention on Me.
• Recall that I am able to do immeasurably more than you ask or imagine.

You get the point. I cling to all of this guidance as I struggle with my own demons and deadlines. Tomorrow is definitely a new day (filled with many more distractions, unfortunately).

Make peace with this phase of your life, regardless of whether it is a phase full of wealth and good health or full of despair and pain.
