So as I go and try to be still I keep repeating this verse which was sent to me by my mom
“…He said to them, ‘Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.’”
Mark 6:31b (NIV 1984)

Trying to Learn How To Be Quiet
As I sit in front of my computer checking out Facebook and the blogs I love to follow I think to myself this is the time I could be still, bet yet when I try I can not turn my brain off. Why is that? I want to be able to just have some true quiet time and not think of anything, to spend time reading, spend time in prayer...just have God and me time. How does one find this time? How does one shut their brain down to be able to listen? I don't know how to truly relax. That is sad, everyone needs that time to just let go and let your mind and body rest. I am always worrying about something, which my momma always tells me that I am taking the wheel to let go and let God...funny coming from a worrier herself, but she is one of the most God loving women that I know and her faith is what gets her through.

Daughter dear...just continue to live by the Scripture you quoted from Mark's Epistle. When you are in doubt as to how to set aside 'quiet' time with our heavenly Father; just lift your concerns up to Him in prayer and He will lead you and help you find the time.
Sweet baby girl you do know your Mama well. I am a worrier, I get it honestly as my Mom was a worrier too, and I do know that God will take care of anything that comes my way. I too am having a hard time, especially this past couple of weeks, in finding my quiet place. I haven't even done my Paths to God for about a week now. So I am holding on to Isaiah 40:31 right now. I know that God will give me the strength to carry out His will for my life. I need to let go and let God.
I am so blessed to have two of the most loving parents that are so in love with the Lord! Thank you both for your words of wisdom.
