WHEN YOU SPEND TIME WITH ME, I restore your sense of direction. I enable you to do less but accomplish more.
Dear Jesus, This is good news indeed! What You are offering is just what we need. There are so many possible ways to go through each that that we easily lose our sense of direction. When this happens, we tend to go around in circles, interrupting one task to do something else while our thoughts flit from one thing to the next. At such times our body simply cannot keep up with the pace of our mind, and we become increasingly confused - accomplishing little. We know our time and energy are precious gifts from You, Lord. Help us use them wisely. Amen.
Beloved, when you realize you have lost your way there is only one remedy: Stop and reconnect with Me - the Director of your life. Admit that you are directionless and ask for My help. Pause with Me, while I soothe your frazzled nerves. Let the peacefulness of My Presence revive you. As My Peace settles over your mind and soul, the way before you will open up step by step. Though you cannot see very far ahead of you, you can see enough to continue your journey. Try to remain conscious of Me as you go, remembering that I am with you every bit of the way.
You may think this delay is a waste of time, but it is not. When you follow My directions closely, you save great quantities of time and energy. You avoid doing worthless works - things that are not in My plans for you. This frees you to do the genuine works I prepared in advance for you. Thus, though you do less in terms of actual activity, you accomplish much more.
- Jesus
