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)
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?—Psalm 42:2 ESV
As you reflect on your life, instead of being critical, be kind and recognize that you are a work in progress and are developing a better and deeper relationship with yourself and God. If you are struggling with a painful memory or a challenging problem, ask God to help you look ahead with hope.
Heavenly Father, help me truly grasp the divine gift of Your presence in my life. You are the Source of all hope.
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)

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