Give Sarah discernment and persistence in her desire to move beyond the "hurry sickness" we know so well to new practices of "slowing" that prioritize people and relationships...including her relationship with You!
'What's the cure for hurry sickness? It doesn't just work itself out by itself, it takes training - the intentional practice of slowing. John Ortberg, in "The Life You've Always Wanted," puts it plainly - "Deliberately choose to place yourself in a position where you simply have to wait....Drive in the slow lane....Declare a fast from honking....Force yourself to eat your food slowing....For a month at the grocery store, choose the slowest/longest line. Get in it. Then let someone go ahead of you." I can see the looks on some of your faces even now. Ironically, the weirder you think these ideas are, the more you are probably suffering from hurry sickness and the more you should slow down!'
