Let God plan your day

Great post on Spirit Daily about a problem that is rampant and epidemic in modern society. They hypothesize that due to the harried pace we all put ourselves under, we have become cold, unfeeling, and even rude. How many of our parents or grandparents experienced anything like the "road rage" we do today? How many of us abhor road rage in others, and yet, still yell at traffic ourselves? It has become a hard habit to break.

The article suggests that we

...Ask the Holy Spirit to direct the pace of your life. Begin each morning with prayer and plan your day during that prayer. Let God set your pace. Go out as Scripture says: as sheep among the wolves.


I would add, read something of the daily office of readings some time during the day to set the emotional pace of the day. Go to daily Mass if you can. Pray the Rosary on the way to work or before going to sleep.

Let go and let God.

    May I recommend the excellent Daily Gospel
    >Pray the Rosary on the way to work
    This has definitely changed my first hours of the day, but assiduity is such a challenge :-)
    Letting God drive our day's pace is indeed the way for Christians. Monks are here to remind us obediance to the three masters: the abbey, the rule and... the bell.

    I like that! I think modern Christians need the examples of the monastics more than ever. It is more difficult than ever as well.
