If you feel as if there is never enough time in the day, your nerves are frazzled, and you are too tired to think straight, carve out some time and lift your concerns to God. Sit by yourself, close your eyes and empty your mind. These moments keep you in touch with God, who speaks to us when we are relaxed enough to hear His wisdom. Christ said, “The Kingdom of God is within” (Luke 17:21); look quietly inward and discover His Kingdom.

Are you an over-thinker? Instead of releasing your problems to God, do you agonize over solving them, convinced that if you could just figure it out, everything would work out? This exhausting exercise leaves us feeling spiritually empty. Instead, focus your energy on God.

When you look back at your life, do you focus on the successes, celebrations and victories? Remember the amazing moments of God’s work in your life. These “stones of remembrance” help you overcome the stumbling blocks and weather life’s storms.
