Feeling Restless?

Life today seems designed to make us restless and unsatisfied; always wanting something more or just something different.

We think that we will be satisfied if we can only find a new and better job or home, a new relationship or a new interest. But rarely we are fully satisfied for long; often we will soon be restless again, perhaps not even sure what to strive for next.

The real reason for our restlessness is that we have failed to understand the purpose of life; that life has no real purpose if God has no part in it. We were created in God’s image in order to be in a relationship with him and to please him. Unless that becomes our purpose, we will constantly be restless.

If you want to be free from constant restlessness, pursue God’s purpose for your life by trusting His son, Jesus Christ. Allow him to rule in your heart and to be your peace.

Prayer: Almighty God, I have been restless for as long as I can remember. But that is not how I want my life to be. I want to be settled and satisfied and to have peace in my heart. I realize I need Jesus in my heart.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts……..Colossians 3:15a
