Be Still

Take time before and after your work to ask the Lord for the peace, humility, and steadfastness to engage and accept the opportunities for learning and growth He has provided you. Notice when distractions and circumstances you did not choose are difficult and grieving. Notice when you receive comfort from unexpected places. Take time for lament and for praise.
