Clearing my mind

Always the singer, never the bride. This was my "bit" this weekend, as i enjoyed another wedding back home! It was so great to see those of you that I was able to see, and very nice to spend time with my parents for the weekend.

This was my great learning from this morning at The Gathering.
"Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray." 1 Tim 4:7
Simple, yet profound. If we are not clear minded and worry free (along with self disciplined and self-controlled), its going to be a lot more difficult to meditate on God, pray and listen.
I control whether I am clear minded (or lack there of in most cases)... Clear mindedness seems to be heavily based on trust in God and not worrying about A, B and C.
I want to consciously stop, be still, clear my mind, so I can pray and pray well.
