ROLLER COASTER RIDE

excerpt from Kristine Brown

Life feels a lot like a roller coaster ride these days. Fun for a visit to the theme park, not so much when it’s real life. If only we could learn to move with steady assurance instead of full-speed ahead. If only we could find balance in our lives. “Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.” 3 John 1:2. In this opening to his friend Gaius, John makes a statement about the connection between our physical health and spiritual health. We can work diligently for the Lord, our families, and our jobs with the best intentions. But every go-getter knows when we don’t stay centered on God, we will find ourselves overloaded. Left unchecked, we will keep going until we crash. Physically depleted. Then we fall behind on our tasks, and the cycle repeats. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We can keep our minds, hearts, and bodies in perfect balance when we refocus through prayer. Notice in John’s letter how he commits to praying for his friend. When we pray for God to keep us in good balance, He will help us. Set aside a time to unwind, regroup, commune with the Lord so you won’t be on that roller coaster ride.
