There are days I seem to be living life in fast forward. It can wear me out and chew me up. Voices garble, movement is jerky, and in the frenzied passing of scene after scene, I may have lost the plot.
I need a pause button.
I need a way to stop the madness, be still. I need a way to refocus. I need some quiet. I need to breathe.
I need to pray.
Prayer is the pause button for all the crazy.
Prayer changes the channel.
Prayer connects me to a source that gives, rather than drains.
This pause puts the day in perspective. God gives me His eyes to see the details that matter. His voice is made clear over the constant chatter, and it is music to my ears. He reminds me of my place in the story. He gives me peace.
And when I push play again, the pace somehow evens out. Life is not flashing before my eyes, and I am no longer the helpless spectator.
Prayer is the pause that invites God to enter the scene. It is the space for Him to jump back in, so we can walk together, work together, play together.
