The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry Ch. 4

⏳✨ *“Hint: the solution isn’t more time.”* This week in our study of *The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry* (Ch. 4), we asked: *“What would you do if you had more time?”* Most of us answered with good intentions—spend time with family, read more, finally slow down—but as the author reminds us, *“the truth is we’d just fill it with more stuff.”* 📖 We dug into Philippians 4:6–7: *“Do not be anxious about anything… but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”* Only then—after surrendering worry—can we truly experience His peace. We looked at Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38–42) and asked ourselves: Are we busy with “many things” like Martha, or are we choosing the “one thing needed,” like Mary, sitting at Jesus’ feet? 💡 Highlights from our conversation: * *“It’s all gas and no brakes.”* Many of us pour from empty cups, signing up for everything without asking if God told us to. * *“Even the best version of yourself cannot do it all.”* We all have limits—time, energy, gifting—and embracing those limits brings freedom. * *“Comparison eats away at our joy.”* There will always be someone with more; instead, focus on what God has called YOU to. * Hurry robs us of peace, joy, and presence with God. But slowing down allows us to trust Him, lean on Him, and abide with Him in stillness. 🙏 One testimony shared reminded us: *“Even three years without a job, God provided.”* The Lord always supplies—even when it doesn’t make sense. Trust in Him with *all* your heart (Proverbs 3:5–6) and watch Him direct your path. The author puts it plainly: *“Every day, every hour, every moment is a precious gift.”* Will we spend it in busyness—or in presence with God? ✨ Slow down. Be still. Trust. And remember—the solution isn’t more time, it’s more of Him. 🎧 Listen back to the podcast replay for the full conversation, and join us next week as we continue the journey toward living unhurried with God. #RuthlessEliminationOfHurry #JourneyFam #SeekGodFirst #SlowDownAndAbide #FaithOverHustle
