Written by C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) a British author, professor, and  lay theologian. This is an excerpt from his book “Mere Christianity.”

The real problem of 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.

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. [John 10:27]
