Be Still- My Stuff

My life feels cluttered.  I have so much going on in my brain, with my family, and just sitting around my house.  I hate clutter and it seems to be invading my space recently.  I have trouble being still because everything around me is so "busy".  My calendar is so full of summer activities and church things that I can't find a day to just be.  My list is so cluttered with things I "need" to buy and "urgent" tasks that need to be done.  My home is cluttered with gifts that need to be put away and trinkets I just can't part with.

Maybe being still for me, means doing something.  I need to part with the clutter.   Clean up the calendar so we can spend time as a family.  Clean up the clutter in the house so that I can take a deep breath and appreciate the beautiful things I have.  Prioritize my list so that I can honestly know what is a "need" and what tasks I truly must to accomplish that aren't just "urgent", but necessary.

Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10

Dear God, help me create a clean heart for you.  Help me to get rid of the clutter that causes me to feel so far from you; the busy calendars, the lists a mile long, the tasks that seems so urgent, and the sin that leaves no room for you in my heart.  Renew in my heart a right spirit so that I may hear your voice speaking to me.  Amen.
