I often struggle with balance. I tend to throw myself 110% in whatever I am doing, and often find myself over-extended, exhausted, and ever watching my to do list grow. In reflection I am typically missing a key starter question. What direction is God pointing me in? I am so busy getting things done and fitting stuff in, that I have not stopped to take a few minutes to pray about the direction my Father would have me go. Ironically injuries have been the one thing to slow me down. Today I am nursing an injured shoulder, the product of a 5AM mt bike rides before work. This pause has caused me to reflect on the balance in my life. I pray that I will rejoice and accept the peace that God has promised. I pray that my heart would be steered in the direction that God is moving. I pray that God would allow me to find balance in Him.
Philippians 4:4-7
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
