Take a step back

When life feels overwhelming and you’re up against the wall, take a step back. It’s okay to retreat from the chaos of life for a while. Rest and take a break. Slow down and feel the moments that are passing so quickly before your eyes. Stop and appreciate each moment. Look the people you love in the eye and tell them what you wish to say before they are gone. Give all the love you can and all the praise you can. Appreciate the people in your life. Take a step back from the busyness of life. Reflect on the goodness of God. Thank God for being alive at this very moment. Thank Him for the air in your lungs and for all the beautiful things around you. Most of the things that matter in this life are free. Take a step back and give yourself a break from it all. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes for a moment and feel the blessedness of being present right now. Savor the joy of life. Observe what God is doing in your life. Look beyond your pain and hurt. Look beyond the trials and mess. Something good always comes out of the seemingly bad things happening in your life. There is always a reason for your sorrows. Always remember, after the night, the day always comes.
