1.Be selective with how you spend your time ~ You may be trying to do too many things and end up doing none of them well.Hurrying is trying to do more than the Holy Spirit is leading you to do. Be led by the Spirit.

2.Be prepared to sayno nicely ~ Sometimes we take on things we know we shouldn’t, just because we’re uncomfortable sayingno. If you feel this pressure, ask God to put your spirit at rest and give you loving words to speak that will take away the unnecessary awkwardness of sayingno.

3.Resist the spirit of procrastination ~ It’s the attitude that says I’m going to sit here and wait until I feel like doing what I need todo. But God’s Word tells us to exercise self-discipline. Do what you need to donow so you can fully enjoy your times of rest.

4.Eliminate key distractions ~ If you know you are easily distracted, set some guidelines for yourself. Don’t let them keep you up late at night so you oversleep the next morning and end up setting yourself up for a hurried, stressful day.

5.Set appropriate boundaries for interruptions ~ Life is full of interruptions, but we can learn to set boundaries that help us manage them in healthy ways. Schedule times when you are “off-limits.” Let your calls go to voicemail, turn off your email, and decide to get back to people after your “off-limits” time is over. Trust the Holy Spirit to tell you when there is a true emergency.

6.Modify your life ~ Ask God to show you “out-of-the-box” ways to save time and trouble. For instance, when I don’t have time to do the dishes, I use paper plates. And if I’m having a birthday party for one of my kids and don’t have time to make a meal, we just have cake and ice cream.

7.Listen for the Holy Spirit ~ If you can see that your plan is not producing peace, go back to God; pray for peace and for wisdom to make changes that will benefit your life.


If you can learn to trust God “in the now,” receive His grace as you need it, and you can become a truly peaceful person. Now that’s powerful!
 
Didn't Jesus offer peace?

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Beck, indeed, the Lord leads our spirits which is His Spirit in us leading :)

Beck, milady, what did Jesus tell Peter after He asked Peter 'Do you love me?'
He said this three times and each time Peter said, 'You know I love you, Lord,' Jesus exhorted, 'Tend m
My sheep.' Then 'feed My sheep.'
My green brains forget 1 of the 3 'sheep' statements Jesus said, but.....

....the point is this. Beck, don't quit, ever, tending to, nurturing, feeding God's sheep, as He leads, as He gives you strength, for JOY will come in the morning, and, even in the afternoon and evening too, and, mid-morning, and, dusk, and, mix-afternoon, and, dawn, even, beck, when you feel you bled out all the servanthood of encouragement you can give, squeezed out as much wisdom as you can afford without melting, when it's the VERY darkest time of the night, which is just before the dawn, God will lead you through it all with great, unspeakable, impeccable, unmatchable, blessed JOY from your faith to trust in Him :-)
