A NEED FOR DISTRACTION

A NEED FOR DISTRACTION

When you’re in the wilderness you have nothing. No family. No friends. No internet. Just you, nature and your thoughts. The whirlwind of thoughts that bog us down.

Instead of sitting quietly in the vast element of His creation our untrained mind has a need for distraction. This need for distraction runs deep within. Any distraction. With nothing around us we still feel the need to be distracted in order to not feel the pain. The cry of our heart.

What am I going to do now? How do I feel about things? I’m so hurt. Can I ever love again? Why?

It’s not for us to ask why? It’s for us to sit quietly and patiently for God to guide us. But our mind must be trained to be still. Be still and know He is God. To fully rely on our faith and His promises.

He will NEVER forsake us. (Deut 31:8)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge HIM and HE shall direct your path. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

We need to train our minds. Allow the silence to take over the thoughts. To sit in wait. Wait upon the Lord. Be still.

Be still and know that I am God. (Psalm 46:10)

When in the wilderness you have nothing; yet you have everything.
