This morning my Jesus Calling devotional instructed me to relax and I failed in the first hour. My paycheck didn’t show up, there was a wreck that caused me get to work forty-five minutes late, I went over my self imposed budget for the month, and my car decided to have difficulty starting.This morning my Jesus Calling devotional instructed me to relax and I failed in the first hour. My paycheck didn’t show up, there was a wreck that caused me get to work forty-five minutes late, I went over my self imposed budget for the month, and my car decided to have difficulty starting. Rather than going off the deep end I managed to salvage a little of my sanity by remembering that God told me to relax today. Every time I would tense I would say to myself God is in control and He said to relax.

This evening I decided to continue the thought of relaxation by learning how to be still. I have a beautiful palm tree out my window that I am grateful for everyday, but I don’t take enough time to look at it. This evening I took five minutes to sit on my bed and stare at my tree. Someday the tree won’t be mine and I will regret not spending enough time thanking God for the lovely gift he planted outside my window. Oddly enough the tree makes me feel relaxed.

How will you relax today?

Until next time,

Kaycee
