Our Restless Senses (Black Saturday)

Ellen says: Most of us can concentrate long enough on a specific task in order to complete it, particularly when we are pressured by time. But when we are without external constraints we easily become less focused. this is especially the case when we set time aside to pray and to be still. Our restless senses catapult us from one thing to another.

Our coming to God is not an attempt to impress him regarding our disciplinary skills. Instead we need to bring ourselves to God as we are -- with our restless senses. When we come in this way we will eventually experience God quietening presence, particularly when we confess our sins, unburden our hearts, lay down our issues and allow ourselves to be blown in a new direction by the breath of God spirit.
