The Quiet Life
Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.—1 Thessalonians 4:11 (NLT)
Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.—Luke 12:7
What is on your mind? If it matters to you, it matters to God. No doubt this has been an especially challenging year with social distancing, solitude and many unknowns. Jesus knows your worries and your pain. He longs to comfort you. Unburden your heart and let Him carry your load.
Dear Lord, when my mind races with worries—big and small—guide me to remember the many times you have provided for my needs. Help me feel Your absolute peace.

Ears that hear and eyes that see—the Lord has made them both.—Proverbs 20:12 (NIV)
