"It was good for me to be afflicted, in order to learn your statutes." Psalms 119:71
Life is a great teacher, we the student do we stop, sit still and ponder the lesson? There is a cause and effect to our actions and decisions. Can we see the good in the affliction? What have we learned and is God trying to teach us something. Too many times we go off on our own without consulting God and then we want Him to bail us out. He wants us to come to Him in all things and sometimes He needs to get our attention. We all need to slow down and give Him 15-20 minutes of our day to contemplate His word. Invite God in, see the good in all things. When life is good, are you rejoicing with God or has He served His purpose until the next crisis that you created? 15-20 minutes is Holy time that is so amazing, just you and Him, where you can learn His statues, listen.

Dear Father God, I thank You for the desire to sit still and learn from You. I invite you into all the circumstances of my life, You know the decisions and response we have to give. May they all be of God so He will be edified and praised. Prayers for this country as it struggles to deny You and truth. Thank You for the examples of Holy living that are just getting started in life. We can learn a lot from a child who loves Your Holy Family. Bless this day Lord and may I only do Your will. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Saints, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
