Day Six
Today, let’s ask God what He has to say about our ability to have fun and experience joy.
Set aside 20 minutes on your calendar to sit with a few questions. You’ll want this time to be distraction-free, so turn your phone off and focus on being completely present.
Let’s starting by
BREATHING
Take three deep breaths and begin to settle your soul.
When you are ready,
INVITE GOD INTO THIS MOMENT
Ask God to eliminate the noise and to speak to your body, mind, and soul.
SLOWLY READ
Philippians 4:4-7 MSG
“Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revel in him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you're on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any minute! Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.”
ASK GOD A FEW QUESTIONS
God, what am I carrying today that is heavy and crushes joy in my life?
God, what do you want me to know about my ability to have fun and experience joy?
LISTEN
Embrace the silence and fight the urge to speak. Be in the presence of God and listen for his voice.
WRITE IT DOWN
Grab your journal and process what God is saying to you.
