It's why I clear off my counter as
I'm cooking, and why I glance across my
Living room to see if anything is out of
Place.
I can't relax when my surroundings are
In disarray.
It's also true when I get ready for my
Alone time with Jesus.
I must declutter my mind.
Pressures of the day and worries of the
Future pile up and try to crowd out my
Peace.
I sing a worship song, or two, or
Three until my spirit is calm.
I open my Bible to the Psalms and
Read a passage out loud.
I choose a few cards from my Bible
Verse memory basket and repeat them.
I bow my head and heart in submission to
My Father and, finally, with the annoying
Mental clutter removed I can
Pour out my heart to Him in
Prayer and praise.
