Continue reading I can’t find peace.. It’s just too much noise.

Imagine being in a room full of chaos and you can’t remove yourself.

You’re stuck hearing all of the noise.

You try to cover your ears, but the sound still comes through. You just can’t find any peace. Now you can’t think, you’re frustrated, and you begin to feel numb and empty sitting in the chaos.

I can’t imagine that being a place anyone would consciously choose to put themselves in, but we often end up there. How so?

Well let’s imagine for a second more.

Imagine that room of chaos is filled with self confusion, confusion of worth and self image, ideas of who you should be, where you should be in life, society’s image of how you should look, act or dress, outside opinions of who you are, ideas of the typical role of a woman, school/work demands, your need to provide a service for others, duties at home, a clock that is constantly ticking, temporary moments and activities that give only a piece of happiness, that wine bottle calling your name, that person asking you to come hang out or lay up for a little fling, that music filling your ears influencing your thoughts, and all the many things that you can continue to think of that call for your attention, press you, or enter into your mind and spirit. All those things that take from you and leave you empty or with no energy to pour out.

HELP?



I am sure you could think of more. The list of things that could be feeling us up could go on.

I know I could add on. I remember a time when life seemed that it had just thrown way too many lemons for me to even have the energy to make lemonade. I was struggling to stay above water. No music playing. No one speaking. But I felt that there was too much noise. I felt a sensation of drainage with no energy to pour out. Personally I was struggling with myself. Not knowing what I wanted. What to do. Who to turn to. Physically I was tired. I didn’t have the energy to keep going. I was in a lump of confusion on top of dealing with others. School. A relationship. Demands of other people. Demands of society. I allowed myself to feed into anything in the world that promised to give me joy, or spurts of it any way.

I had given myself to everything besides the one thing that really needed my attention. And what is that one thing?

That one thing that I neglected to fill was my spirit.

I was empty spiritually.

I had gotten so caught up in everything that I felt was consuming me or that demanded attention immediately that I forgot about my spiritual health. I forgot that I needed to continue to chase after Him. I forgot that I needed time with God. I forgot God never asked me to go through anything alone. I forgot that He sweeps in to give me strength where I am weakened. I forgot that I could not stand alone, especially in this life and world that demand so much.

I was disrupted. I was feeding all the wrong things into my spirit, and I wasn’t seeking to properly nourish my spirit.

If you have found yourself in this state of confusion, numbness, and lack of energy lately, know that you can come out.

If you want to gain your sense of peace back and start to fix your spirit, here are some things that may help.

• Take a conscious note of all the things that demand things of you.
• Note everything that is not healthy for you.
• Declare that you will cut off anything that is not making you happy.
• Declare that you will not give up on yourself.
• Throw out any unhealthy and belittling thoughts.
• Plan some time for God. Everyday.
• Read the word, pray, and meditate often.
• Go after your peace and happiness at all costs.
• Remember that you cannot stand alone. Allow God in and don’t neglect entering His presence.
• Talk to God throughout the day. Release those thoughts to Him.

Get your peace back for you, Glow Girl.

Maintain your spiritual health.

You can do it!

Here is a prayer for you.
