Be still before the Lord; wait patiently for Him and entrust yourself to Him;… ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:7‬ (amp)

Quiet down before God, be prayerful before him. Don’t bother with those who climb the ladder, who elbow their way to the top. Bridle your anger, trash your wrath, cool your pipes—it only makes things worse. Before long the crooks will be bankrupt; God-investors will soon own the store. -Psalms‬ ‭37:7-9‬ (msg)

“I cannot stop anyone from making wrong choices. I can only help them make right ones.” -Priscilla Shirer, The Prince Warriors

Since Jesus went through everything you’re going through and more, learn to think like him. Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. Then you’ll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want. -1 Peter‬ ‭4:1-2‬ (msg)

What a freedom to spend our hours contemplating God, the infinite and the beautiful, instead of stewing about ourselves – over and over and over again – how incredibly boring to resign our thinking to such a narrow scope when the infinite is offering us His Spirit!

Ephesians 4:30 His Spirit, moving and breathing in you, is the most intimate part of your life. Don’t take such a gift for granted!
