"The peace of God...will guard your hearts and minds." Philippians 4:7 NKJV
Here are six keys to enjoying a more peaceful lifestyle. (1) Be selective in how you spend your time. By trying to do too many things, you can end up doing none of them well. Hurrying is often your fleshly nature trying to do more than God's Spirit is leading you to do. Be led by the Spirit. (2) be prepared to say "no." Sometimes we take on things because we're uncomfortable saying no. Ask God to give you the courage and the words to say no when you need to. (3) Resist the spirit of procrastination. God's Word tells us to exercise self-discipline (see 1Co 9:27). Prioritize your time. Do what you need to do now so you can fully enjoy your times of rest and relaxation. (4) Eliminate key distractions. If you know you're prone to certain distractions, such as watching too much TV or spending hours online, establish guidelines for yourself. (5) Life is full of interruptions. But you can learn to set up. boundaries that help you to manage them in healthy ways, such as scheduling time when you are "off limits." (6) Modify your life. The more you acquire, the more you have to manage and maintain. The old saying goes, "The two best days in a boat owner's life are the day he buys it and the day he sells it." Life is not built on things; it's built on relationships. And the most important relationship you have is with God. Bottom line: If you make peace a priority, take practical steps toward it. If you let God lead you every day, you will enjoy more peaceful lifestyle.
