Our normal day is likely consumed by heavy schedules, ringing cell phones, errands, meetings, work, and a seemingly never-ending task list. Even with all that we have going on, and as the day flies by, there could be two things missing: listening and silence!

Jesus warns that we can be “anxious and worried about many things.” Such concern, especially over the events out of our control, serves no useful purpose. Which is why we must sit daily at the feet of Jesus and listen to him, in silence, if even for a few minutes. Instead of just “doing” things, running from one place to another and without regard for our own well-being, try to give more time to “being” with the Lord. Jesus will ease our anxiety and increase our serenity!
