Reflection
The past couple of years has served the procrastinators of the world quite well.
Instead of making excuses not to move forward on a project, they had a verifiable reason in COVID.
Well, if you haven’t heard, the COVID pandemic is all but behind us.
It’s time to move forward.
Questions
What projects, goals, or aspirations have you put aside because of the pandemic?
What projects, goals, or aspirations have you put aside because of fear and procrastination?
Facts
Our spirit is often filled with low-level anxiety when we have something we want to do but keep making up excuses not to do it.
Peace and anxiety cannot coexist.
Conclusion
Make up your mind to start today with the project or goal, robbing you of your peace because of your unwillingness to start.
Peace is often found in feeling purpose derived from the act of doing.
I always write from experience.
1 Peter 1:13, “Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Journal your thoughts:
What am I grateful for today?
In what way(s) will I bring light to the world today?
What will I deny myself so I may draw closer to God and gain more peace in my life today?
Prayer:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will.
That I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen.
(Serenity Prayer – Reinhold Niebuhr)
