A place to rest


I've been feeling restlessness gnaws at me. It's not like a pain that can relieve with some medication. Instead I find that my mind uneasy, anxious, and irritable. I find it's hard to sit for any period of time before I have to move around. It's hard to concentrate and focus on anything. Reading doesn't go well either. I seem to be looking for something, but I'm not sure what.


Or Maybe I know it.

Everything seems wrong without the guidance of Him. I rarely go to church lately. It's always too many excuses for me to skip the Sunday worship.

And look at where am I now?
I don't know. I'm lost again.

Flipping over Billy Graham's Hope for each day. It stop at this page:

Walk in the spirit.

To walk means to place one foot in front of the other and to go forward one step at a time. If you stop doing this, you are no longer walking. You are standing still--- or worse, going backwards. Walking always implies movements, progress, and direction.

This is what it means to walk with God. It means moving forward in step with Him, confident that the way He is leading is the best.

The problem is that we are weak. We stumble or get diverted, or get weary and stop moving forward. But that is one reason why the Holy Spirit has been given to us. Galatians 5:16 could be paraphrased this way: " Walk by means of the Spirit."

Although I've been walking away from God but I know He never leave me alone.

Yes, life can be overwhelming at times. But when it is, remember this: God knows what you are facing, and "He cares for you."

I started to pray.

The night is almost gone, and the day is at hand..
