Rest My Mind

Today is a quiet day with Jesus. It's been a busy week in my mind, not so much physically, and I'm needing to rest my mind. In order to do that I sometimes focus on a word or a phrase, other times it's a picture or a memory. Just like our bodies need rest, so do our minds. We need to make time to let our minds drain of the worldly clutter and fill with heavenly thoughts. It's not that I'm avoiding what's  going on in my life, or that I'm choosing to not deal with it. It is simply that I need my mind to refocus on what I know is truth. I need to let God's thoughts become my thoughts, especially when my thoughts are cluttered with the world's viewpoint. I'm looking for a heavenly viewpoint on my earthly situation. I'm seeking rest in the thoughts of the Father. This is how I rest my mind and gain perspective for journey.
