I should have included this Lewis quote in my sermon a couple of weeks ago...forgot all about it. If you're like me you've experienced this onslaught just about every morning. How intentional we must be in "shoving them all back"!
...the real problem of the Christian life comes where people do not usually look for it. It comes the very moment you wake up each morning. All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. And so on, all day. Standing back from all your natural fussings and frettings; coming in out of the wind.
--C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
