Building a Life That Matters
One Day at a Time
Start Your Day With Purpose, Peace & Faith
Hi, I'm Keith.
I’m an experienced life coach, parent, and ex-teacher and I help people build lives that actually feel good — not just look good on the outside. I created "Building a Life That Matters - One Day at a Time" after years of struggling, burning out, and realising that life is about balance, purpose, and small, consistent actions.
I've been helping clients apply what I've learnt on a 1-to-1 basis for many years (far too many for my liking, to be perfectly honest! 
), and have now created something to help people spend just a few minutes each day to pause, reflect, reconnect with God, and move towards a life of greater purpose, peace, and faith... one small step at a time.
For People Living in the Real World
Life can feel full on.
Work. Family. Responsibilities. Decisions. Expectations.
And somewhere in the middle of it all, it’s easy to lose sight of who you're becoming… and where God is leading you.
This daily devotional is for people who want to slow down, think more clearly, and build a deeper faith whilst balancing all the other things going on in their life.
This isn't about trying to create the perfect life.
It's about real, everyday, life.
So, What Will you Get Each day?
Nothing too long.
Nothing to add to the weight already on your shoulders.
Nothing over-complicated.
Just something practical and faith-filled to help you move forward with your life, one day at a time... one small step at a time.
This is for you if...
You want to live with more purpose, but your life feels too busy to even think about what your purpose might be right now.
You want to grow in faith, get closer to God, but you don’t know where to start... or even feel like you have the time to get started!
You have a lot of responsibilities and most of the time, you can hardly find the time to stop and breathe.
You’re tired of pretending everything is fine when, most of the time, it isn’t.
You want practical ways, and encouragement, to bring your faith inline with your everyday life.
If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
This isn't a typical devotional
This isn’t about pretending life is neat and tidy and can be sorted out with a few bible readings and prayers.
It’s about learning to follow Jesus in the middle of your problems, uncertainty, responsibilities, work pressures, disappointments, hopes, family issues, and everything else that gets in the way of peace and calmness.
Most days will, in reality, be a combination of all three of those things.
Here's a sample of what you'll get...
Do You find It Hard To Switch Off?
“Be still, and know that I am God.” - Psalm 46:10
How good are you at switching off?
You know, at the end of a tough day at work. Or in the middle of trying to deal with your teenage son or daughter.
If you're like me, you probaly end up re-running conversations or scenarios over and over in your mind, wondering why you made the decisions you did. You play out several "what-ifs", and you start trying to create solutions... most of which probably have very little chance of working!
All you want to do, is create some peace and harmony and find a solution that keeps everyone happy. Actually, it doesn't normally matter if you're happy, as long as everyone else is happy.
You feel like you're doing your best to deal with your issues, but it rarely brings you any peace, and solutions are few and far between.
The reality is, you need to step back from your problems before trying to deal with them. Create some space in your head before you can get to grips with things, if you like.
Which is where today's Bible verse comes in, with an incredibly invaluable lesson.
"Be still".
That's the first part.
"Be still".
Not fix your problems. Not work out all your strategies. Not try and control every part of your life.
Just… be still.
... "and know that I am God".
For me, that's God telling me to pause, and acknowledge Him.
In other words, step back from my problems, acknowledge, and be thankful for, God and understand that He will guide me... if only I'll take the time to sit with Him... and listen.
Try this today:
Find somewhere quiet, where you won't be disturbed, for just two minutes.
No phone. No TV. No background music.
Sit still. Close your eyes if it helps.
And simply invite God to sit with you. Thank Him for being there for you.
When your mind starts drifting, or more likely speeding, back to your problems, simply pray, "Jesus, help me to find peace in my mind".
And sit quietly again.
Your mind will probably drift several times. That's OK. That's normal. Just find a few words to pray to Jesus to bring back your peace.
The more you do this, the better you'll get at it. The longer you'll be able to stay in a state of peace.
Let's finish in prayer:
Lord, You know how busy my mind can be. Help me to slow down and be still before You. To find Your peace every day. Remind me that I don’t have to sort all of my problems out on my own. Bring me back to a place of trust and calm. Bring me back to You. Closer to You. In the name of Jesuas, Amen.
