Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
(John 17:3)

To know you, Lord, is to live forever. I think that I need to know so many things in this world. I want to know where I am going and how I’ll get there. I want to know my schedule, the weather, traffic patterns, and the local, national, and world news. I am bombarded with information, but the only knowledge that can satisfy me is knowledge of you.

Please quiet me sot that I can absorb you. For two hours today, I will avoid media. I will read and pray, go outside to fill the bird feeders and check the garden, snap some beans on the porch, and cook and freeze the vegetables I have. During this time, Lord, open me to your will and strengthen me to withstand the temptations and distractions that clutter my life. Keep me in your peace, not just during that short time of silence, but all day.
