And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; — 1 Thessalonians 4:11

What are your goals? I’m not sure whether this applies to you, but I’m not sure I could state that my goal is to “enjoy a peaceful life.” But after hearing the justification for that instruction, I get it. With all their “busy-ness,” so many individuals I see are stressed, worn out, and fatigued. In order to live a life that earns the respect of others around us, let’s resolve to cycle down a bit, trust God more and more every day, and work toward doing so!

Prayer

I need your assistance, O dear and holy Father, to learn how to calm down and take care of my own obligations rather than race about aimlessly and out of control. Please give me the knowledge I’ve been asking for as well as the calmness and patience necessary for my heart and mind to be changed by that wisdom. In Jesus’ name I ask it. Amen.
