Owning a house has disrupted my inner peace and thrown off my rhythm of life. I find myself constantly shopping online for new things and obsessing over plans for the house to the point that I’m sick of it. This urge to want more is dangerous, and it’s weighing heavily on my heart.

I want to break free from it. Today’s devotional reading spoke about God’s rhythm, a rhythm I’ve experienced before. It brings peace and joy, making everything fall into place in its natural order and timing, without hurry or worry. Reflecting on where I am now, it’s clear that I’ve lost the pace God intended for me.

Lord, take me back to where we started. Strip away these earthly desires that consume my heart. I don’t like it, but I keep being drawn to it. Help me, Lord, to stay in your rhythm.
