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)
“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”—Isaiah 43:18-19 ESV
During this season of Lent, make it a daily practice to check your thoughts and actions for barriers that block you from having a closer relationship with God. Let go of what is impeding you from living your best full life and go forward on the path He clears for you.
My Heavenly Father, I invite You into the places of my life where temptation lives. Release me of thoughts and things that get in the way our relationship.

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