Just Breathe

I very seldom take the time to just breathe.

To sit

To relax

To pray

To just be.

I get so caught up in life.

All of these things going on around me.

The projects. The events. The tragedies.

But I have recently found that if I just take time and just inhale a deep breath

and then exhale, that a lot of things just do not seem to matter anymore.

The deadlines. The heartbreaks. The chaos. All of it is gone and I am, for once,

still, in the presence of God. The Almighty Creator.

And in this stillness, I am actually at peace. No more worries, no more questions.

Everything in my world is calm for just that moment.

It is such a refreshing thing. To just be calm and refocus on God.

So as we start a new week, I challenge you to just take the time and just breathe.
