Sometimes my work days get outrageously busy. Taking on several tasks at once can be so stressful! And I get so caught up in my work. But at break time I love to read this little book called Jesus Calling. Enjoying Peace in His Presence. It's written in first person as Jesus, the things he would say to you when you're feeling certain things. So it's nice to kick back for ten minutes, read a little reminder from Jesus and get on with my day. Today I read a passage that said to keep Him and His peaceful Presence in the forefront of your mind, even when you're going about your daily activities. And my goodness! That can be so difficult when you have a list of things to do. So before going back to work I prayed, "Jesus, please stay with me today, keep me sane. You can give me whatever I need. Give me peace..and time if you can spare me some." Hehe yes. I throw jokes at Jesus. But believe it or not, He gave me time. When I thought I didn't have enough, He offered me help through my coworkers. Help that I typically wouldn't get on any other day. And when I realized I could slow down, He was finally able to occupy my mind. Wow. I wanted to feel His Presence, to clear my mind of all the tasks I had, but I literally could not do it on my own. And when I admitted that and asked for His help, He was right there. How awesome is that? He'll cater to us in any way, especially if it brings us that much closer to Him.
I love this little book so much. And the more I read it and use it in my day to day life, the more I realize how real His love and power is. Get this book. Seriously. It will change how you think.
