Be Still

Couldn’t sleep last evening and came across your Pentecost challenge on FB - As I sat in silence – prayer – which I always struggle with the thought of how to pray – but sitting in silence for 10 mins this morning was a great experience.  How eye opening that I don’t give myself – and God those 10 mins daily — what a gift.   RMy 10 mins reading scripture was spent googling — Mathew 7 – is one of my favorite and the ability to read the different versions on line  - is a great modern day tool.   My scripture googling “great scriptures”  lead me to Psalm 46:10  - “Be Still”  I guess the message and the blessing for today is clear — be still  - take time to be still and listen to what God is putting out there.     The journaling lead me to “asking” and “being grateful” — I found  it interesting that even though Mathew 7 is one of my favorites – that I really don’t “ask” or “knock”  I seek — but the message today is that I need to get out of my own way — in journal and prayer I “asked” for what I wanted — including delivery from my demons — and I ended today's journey with a two page list of what and who iam grateful for — what an amazing way to start the day  -- and yes – you and your 10 day challenge are on my grateful list --    I was telling my trainer this morning about your challenge — and he made me add a 10 min run  -- so I did that also -  excited to see what I will see on Pentecost — my guess is we will all see the blessings before then! Best, Jeff
