There is plenty of time if you don’t hurry.

If I hurry it would be because I do not believe there is enough time. If I trust God, all unfolds in His divine order and there is no time factor only the unfoldment of Principle’s absolute control.
this topic and John’s response has brought to mind a Japanese version of 23rd Psalm by Tokio Megashie
The Lord is my Pace-setter, I shall not rush;
He makes me stop for quiet intervals.
He provides me with images of stillness, which restore my serenity;
He leads me in ways of efficiency through calmness of mind,
and His guidance is peace.
Even though I have a great many things to accomplish each day,
I will not fret, for His presence is here.
His timelessness, His all-importance, will keep me in balance.
He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of activity,
anointing my mind with His oils of tranquility.
My cup of joyous energy overflows.
Surely, harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruits of my hours,
For I shall walk in the pace of my Lord, and dwell in His house forever.
I love this version. Thank you.
Excellent!!!! So many thx
love this. Thanks
Thank you Evan for this helpful reminder, and thank you John for your input.
I have noticed that when I settle down to pray without thinking about the time factor,
when I have finished, I notice that although it seemed like quite a long time that I was
praying, when I looked a the clock, it didn’t register a long time. But if I thought
I had a limited time to pray, I wasn’t free from this limitation and didn’t seem to have
enough time to complete all the praying I desired to cover.. So i now just set to and
concentrate on the praying and aways have enough time to do other things that need doing.
I remember there was a Lecture “Time is not a factor “several years ago. I think this is it:

Thank you John for that peaceful idea of trusting the perfect unfoldment of God’s, Princile’s, absolute control! It does away with any sense of time, hurry or worry & is liberating!
This is a very needed spiritual view in the world focus on so much to do. I confess that I feel that way sometimes as well. Thank you Evan and idear for the beautiful poem, helping me on my spiritual journey.
