ROOM FOR GOD

My mind sometimes feels like a crowded subway headed to the city center, each stop fills in more space until there is no room at all. In the hustle and bustle of a thought-filled mind there is no room for God. In those moments we must make a full stop; nothing is so important that it should be allowed to crowd out His Presence. Amazingly, with even the smallest pause offered, the LORD Almighty will turn turbulent confusion into a picnic by the river, gripping apprehension into a country walk and over-stuffed choices into star-filled night. O LORD My God, You turn my turmoil into awesome wonder and transform my murmuring into glorious praise.
