Adults on average make 35,000 decisions per day, yet I do not find myself praying the equivalent. Those decisions require sizing (small, medium, or large), understanding (complex or simple), and resolution. In other words, each decision requires an adult to discern. However, wisdom to discern begins and ends with God.

Did you know about fifty percent of people struggle with focus and concentration? The struggle to gain work-life balance, respond to the pressures of modern life, and maintain a social life physically and virtually (social media) leaves many struggling to focus. Lack of focus results in poor decision-making, inability to complete quality work, forgetfulness, and low energy. The enemy steals our focus to create the perfect storm to keep the children of God ineffective.

According to the US Census Bureau, there are 2.6 million deaths per year in the United States resulting in 13 million grievers annually. Yet, society creates little space for the grieving to process their loss. An average company provides 2-3 days of bereavement. When we experience the loss of a loved one, pet, dream, or deep heart desire grief arises, and when not dealt with grief robs us of our voice. No position or status can immune us from grief. The author of Chronicles gives us a keen example through the life of King David.

I personally invite you to rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him. (Psalm 37:7) Today. Right now! Pause. Break from the daily routine and chaos. Rest.

Do you desire God’s nearness? Yes, the ability to sense the God of the universe close! Good news awaits you. Father God desires a close relationship with you too.
