Our lives are very busy. So our minds have a million things to think about. We have agendas, schedules, plans to make, people to interact with, relationships to maintain and work to do. And all that is just our home life. Add to that our jobs and all we need to take care of there and our minds are really frantic.
When we can’t control all these things, we become frustrated, angry, depressed, worried, or despondent. Our minds descend into some dark places. This causes us to do things we normally wouldn’t.
We all need to take a step back and consider what is really important. We need to focus on what really matters. I Peter 1:13 tells us, “Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” We can properly prepare our minds for all these activities by first setting our attention on the grace of Jesus. Then we will have the peace and proper attitude to address the many daily issues.
