The reading for Saturday is John Chapter 14<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here is what I heard:<\/p>\n

Scripture:<\/h2>\n

John 14:1<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

John 14:15<\/strong><\/p>\n

“If you\u00a0 love me, you will obey what I command.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Observation:<\/h2>\n

Trust in me, show your love and and listen to my commands. You will be just fine.<\/p>\n

Application:<\/h2>\n

I am so overwhelmed again.<\/p>\n

I feel like I am \u00a0juggling way too much, but they are all things I want to juggle.<\/p>\n

I need to calm down, listen and trust. He will lead me down the right path. He will prioritize my to-dos. I just need to slow down and listen and then follow.<\/p>\n

Prayer:<\/h2>\n

Lord, please guide me. Help me to slow down and stay on the right track and not veer off on so many side roads!<\/p>\n

I think I trust you, but then I spin my wheels trying to do so much. So then, am I really trusting, or doing so much ‘just in case’ or ‘just because.’ Yikes.<\/p>\n

Help me to sloooooow down, listen and follow your guidance. Please help me to prioritize my to-dos and organize my time in a more intentional, honoring way to you.<\/p>\n

You really have the best plan in mind. I need to listen, fully trust and follow.
\nHow do you slow down and really listen?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
