Discouraging Thought: My mind can not be still.
Encouraging Truth: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you" - John 14:27a
Loving Instruction: "Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." - John 14:27b
Our Reward: "The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace!" - Psalms 29:11
My mind is always busy. Thinking on the events of the day, what I didn't get done, what has to have top priority the next day, the number in the checkbook, the number of bills to pay, what needs to be added to the grocery list. Most times, I don't worry about these things, just mull them over in my brain, trying to gain as much control over my life as possible (that's a different post). I don't think that this is a sin, but it definitely is not beneficial. Tomorrow will take care of itself, God will provide, and it really doesn't matter if my house is spotless. I need rest, and I need peace. Tonight, I pray for peace!
