I'm not sure I could ever make that sort of thing happen, but I wish there was such a place.<br /><br />I hope you find your rest and renewal.

Most of us find it easier to be quiet once we take off the weight of our burdens for those we love and lay them before God. But others, especially those of a 'contemplative' approach, find that to be too 'noisy'. The first thing they do is listen to God in silence, and then lead out of it with intercessions. Whatever order you find useful, trust that God will receive your prayers and will speak to you in the silence.<br /><br />Quiet time is more than just a daily appointment with God. It's more like a visit with your closest friend. It's especially important for those of us who've made our lives in such a way that we'd make God get an appointment to speak to us. Good relationships need the time; they can't live as just another item on the agenda, yet they are lost if time isn't specifically set aside for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-11734652829670306272010-02-03T05:04:29.752-05:002010-02-03T05:04:29.752-05:00May you find the resources to your get-away.

Having such a racing mind and constantly chain of thoughts going on in my mind I got suggested to try progressive muscle relaxation (you tube)done a few weeks you will realise your mind slows down a tiny whiny bit but even better, there will be gaps between the thoughts, interrupting the chain and giving to time to breathe, relax, sort thoughts and get space for new things and ways of thinking. Besides of that this exercise acting between tension and relaxation teaches you a bit of letting go too. Maybe you give it a try for a few weeks. It helped me tremoundously. It is of great assistance in recovery if we help this very hard emotional and spiritual work with some physical exercises.
