"The quest for a contemplative life can actually be self-absorbed, focused on my quiet and me. If we love people and have the power to help, then we are going to be busy. Learning to pray doesn't offer us a less busy life; it offers us a less busy heart. In the midst of outer busyness we can develop an inner quiet. Because we are less hectic on the inside, we have a greater capacity to love...and thus to be busy, which in turn drives us even more into a life of prayer. By spending time with our Father in prayer, we integrate our lives with his, with what he is doing in us. Our lives become more coherent. They feel calmer, more ordered, even in the midst of confusion and pressure." - Paul E. Miller, A Praying Life

I really like this post. Something my heart needed to hear.
Ah, this is one of my favorite books that I currently own. I've read it at least twice, back to front. It's a very recommended book on prayer!

Something that I need to hear right now. God is So Amazing.
I wish that had someone like you (Josh Harris) here in Shelbyville, KY or Louisville, KY. They are looking for a pastor at Highland Baptist Church if you know someone that is like you Biblical. Send to them way. God is Awesome All The Time. Amen.
does BUSY mean:
B-eing
U-nder
S-atan's
Y-oke?
lets try to think...
What a blessing! I am so happy to have stumbled over these words. I have been conflicted on the when is life too busy vs. just busy enough. I certainly don't advocate being busy for busy-sake, but when an opportunity arises that will further the kingdom of God, or enhance your own relationship with the Father, then God will give you the time needed to work his will and it's no longer called busyness. It's all about perspective.
