Two Minute Reset

April 17, 2021April 19, 2021 / Diane / Leave a comment

We’ve all got our fair share of stress. Some years ago I discovered an app that would provide the listener with a couple of minutes’ worth of nature sounds–ocean waves, meadow breezes with chirping birds, rain on a metal roof. I could feel the effect as my heart rate would calm. So I decided to do one better.

I’ve begun a segment of episodes at The Quiet Rest Podcast called “Two Minute Reset“. These segments will be, as the name suggests, only two minutes long and include some calming music running behind a themed grouping of scriptures on a particular theme. Just a brief, peace-bringing respite that refocuses the heart and mind. I hope you’ll join me there. At this writing, I plan to add a new episode each weekend. If you have a theme in mind that you’d like me to include, let me know in the comments or email me at quietrestpodcast@gmail.com.

Bring Them To Me

January 21, 2021 / Diane / 1 Comment

Matthew 4:17,18: “They said to him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.” And he said, “Bring them here to me.”

Isn’t so much of life like this?

I have little faith. “Bring it to me.”

I am nearly out of strength. “Bring it to me.”

“My hope is nearly gone. “Bring it to me.”

My pockets are almost empty. “Bring it to me.”

My heart is breaking. “Bring it to me.”

My goals are crumbling. “Bring it to me.”

My joy is fading. “Bring it to me.”

My sense of peace has all but disappeared. “Bring it to me.”

The hymnwriter wrote, “Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to Thy cross I cling.” We come at the beginning of our relationship with God, having nothing in our hands. We live most peacefully if we are able to continue in that same way…keeping our hands empty, with everything turned over to Him.
