It is a moment cherished


We wrestle so often with our inner self. And many times, creating our own storms. Another storm, another valley, another wrong turn. Who to turn to?
The Apostles knew that when the storms of life weighed heavy on their hearts, they called on Jesus.

A moment alone with God, away from the world, brings inner peace, quiets our mind, and surrounds us with a great calm. A moment cherished once is a moment we will seek again. The storms will come, but when we allow those storms to be calmed by the one who walks on water, then there is peace.

That inner restlessness is a human condition where we need God to calm the seas.
St. Augustine puts it so well, “Our hearts were made for Thee, O God, and they will be restless until they rest in you”.

Let God take over and “be still and know that He is God”
