family and then sat around and talked together. It seems like that way

of living has mostly faded from existence. We run from one event on our

packed calendars to the next. It feels like we’re always running late,

but we simply have too much to do and not enough time to do it. This way

of living has an impact on our mental, physical and emotional health.

But restlessness can also have an effect on our spiritual lives. When we

never have time to spend with the Lord and the pressure on us makes us

hurried even when we are spending time with Him, it makes it difficult

to know Him. The psalmist tells us to be still. Is that possible? What

would that look like? And what effect would it have on our lives and

souls?
