Our phones, social media and our to do lists constantly pull for our attention daily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, life gets so busy that we forget to slow down and simply be with God. Our minds are filled with responsibilities, worries, notifications, and endless distractions. We move from one thing to another, trying to keep up with everything around us, while our souls quietly long for something deeper: peace, comfort, and connection with our Heavenly Father. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">In the Book of Enos, we read about a man who poured out his whole soul to God in prayer. Enos didn\u2019t just say a few words and move on with his day. He turned his full heart toward the Lord, seeking Him with all his soul. Asking the Lord to forgive him for his sins, and  in that sacred moment, he hears the voice of the Lord telling him that He hears his prayers and that the Lord will grant unto Him according to his desires and his faith. Enos received answers, reassurance, and forgiveness and peace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">His experience reminds us that prayer is more than a routine. It is a relationship. It is a place where we can be completely honest with God, we can bring Him our worries, and trust that He loves us and hears us. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">We don\u2019t need perfect words or lengthy prayers to reach heaven. What matters is the sincerity of our hearts. Heavenly Father already knows our needs even before we ask. He understands the desires of our hearts and the struggles we\u2019re facing. He know that we may not always know how to put into words. Still, He invites us to come to Him, to seek His guidance, and to allow Him to be part of our everyday lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">What if, this week, we made a little more room for our communication with our Father in Heaven? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">What if we put our phones down, stepped away from the noise, and gave ourselves a few quiet minutes to pray without rushing? Not to check something off our to-do list, but to truly connect with Him. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">Prayer may not always change our circumstances immediately, but it can change how we face them. It can bring light into our confusion, strength into our weakness, and hope into our hardest days. When sorrow feels heavy and life becomes overwhelming, we can turn to the Lord and find rest in His presence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">I have found out as I come to Him in prayer, that He may not always remove every burden at once, but He can at least fill my heart with peace. \ud83d\udc9b He can strengthen us, comfort us, and help us carry what once felt impossible. &amp; or at least give us a moment to rest in peace with Him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">We don\u2019t have to wait for the perfect moment or until everything falls apart to pray. We can turn to Him in our happiest moments, our quietest struggles, and the ordinary moments in between. We can pray in our hearts, we can kneel and pray whatever it is. He is ready to hear us, comfort us and help us. God isn\u2019t only there when we need a miracle; He wants to walk with us through every part of our journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">This week, remember that you don\u2019t have to figure everything out on your own. Make space for prayer. Open your heart to the Lord. Let Him into the places where you feel tired, uncertain, or afraid. His peace is not dependent on having a perfect life. It comes from knowing that, whatever life brings, you are never beyond His love or His reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I pray that you\u2019ll be able to experience His peace this week and as Enos says; \u201cGo to the place of my rest, which is with my Redeemer; I know that in Him I shall rest.\u201d I pray that Jesus Christ will become the place of your rest. Where your soul can find comfort, peace and be filled with love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">Our Spiritual Goal for this week is: To set aside 10 quiet minutes each day to disconnect from your phone and other distractions and connect with Heavenly Father through sincere prayer. Instead of only asking for things, take time to express gratitude, share what\u2019s weighing on your heart, and listen quietly for His peace and guidance. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">Physical Goal: Take a 10\u201315 minute walk without your phone, music, or other distractions at least three times this week. Let it be a time to breathe, notice the beauty around you, reflect, and give your mind and spirit a little room to rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p2 wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, you don\u2019t have to carry everything alone. Sometimes, the most important thing you can do is pause, turn to God, and let Him remind you that He is right here with you. \ud83d\udc9b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p4 wp-block-paragraph\">I hope that we may find the courage to quiet the world around us, to protect our inner peace and our connection with God. To make room for the Lord daily and that we may discover the peace that comes when we turn our hearts toward Him. \ud83e\udd70<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hope that you can join us tonight to not only release stress and strengthen ourselves to the best music, but to also allow yourself to relax, to turn the world off and to find peace in the meditation tonight. Love you all and hope to see you there. \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Love, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lili \ud83c\udf3a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We live in a world of so many distractions.
