Take the time to think about what you want and need. If you haven’t taken the time to think about what you want and need, you’ll end up chasing things that will only leave you wanting more. When you spend time with God, you can return to your true center. You can begin making decisions that are in alignment with the person God made you to be.
Take the time to think about what you want and need.
Rest with God and allow Him to direct your heart.
Okay, let’s begin by taking a few seconds to consciously relax the body.
And when you’re ready, allow your eyes to slowly close.
Now take a moment to consider this verse. Steep your life in God reality, God initiative, God provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
And again, steep your life in God reality, God initiative, God provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
Bring your attention to the feeling of the breath.
Let it settle into a natural rhythm, effortless and easy.
Notice how good it feels just to breathe.
With each inhale, let your body fill up with new life.
With each exhale, release and let your body relax.
Feel your feet on the floor and the weight of your body in the chair.
Now, gently bring your attention to your emotions,
just noticing the feelings that you brought with you today.
Not engaging with the emotions, Just noticing them as an observer.
Remember that you can leave those feelings right where they are.
Just allow those thoughts to bubble up and out.
Remember, today is a new day with new opportunities.
God is working in your life
with an easy awareness. Bring your attention to the space in the room.
Just noticing the space with an easy curiosity.
Notice your place in the room.
Feel the air on your skin.
Listen to the sounds in the room.
Maybe it’s quiet in the room. Maybe it’s not. Both are okay.
You’re just listening. And welcoming the sounds as part of the exercise.
Not wishing to change the sounds, just accepting the sounds as they are.
When it feels natural, slowly bring your awareness to the breath.
Allow your breath to be a reminder to stay in this present moment.
If your mind begins to wander. You can always come back to the feeling of the breath,
relax, and let your body honor the natural calm that only comes from the presence of a loving God.
Take this verse with you. Steep your life in God reality, God initiative, God provisions. Don’t worry about missing out. You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met.
Allow your awareness to slowly come back to your body. And when it feels natural, begin to open your eyes. Sit back in your chair. Maybe you want to stretch a little bit. Do whatever feels good. Take a moment to notice how you feel. I hope you feel a little more relaxed. We’ll see you again tomorrow for another day of hope.
Love is the miracle drug. Love allows us to overcome pain and disappointment. It allows us to persevere through struggles. It restores our hopes and dreams. God is love. And what God loves most is love. is you.
Many of us grew up with the idea that God was sitting in heaven writing down every bad thing that we ever did. But what God tells us He actually does is not writing, but erasing. As soon as we can add another item to our list of wrongs, God is erasing it. This is because God is love, and love keeps no record of wrongs.
When we seek God, we always get more than we ask for. We’re seeking connection. And without even asking for it, God begins to change our hearts. He begins to gradually release all those negative thoughts and feelings that we hold on to. Gradually, He changes what’s inside of us.
