Day Five
Set aside 15 minutes on your calendar to sit with a few questions. You’ll want this time to be distraction-free, so plan on turning your phone off and being unavailable.
DAILY REFLECTION
Let’s start by
BREATHING
Take three deep breaths 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
James 1:19 ESV
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
ASK GOD A FEW QUESTIONS
What was the fruit of your walk around the block yesterday?
What did your heart and soul feel like as you disconnected from your phone?
What thoughts rise to the surface when you think about anger in your life?
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 write down your thoughts and anything God may be speaking to you.
DAILY ACTIONS
Action #1 Set a reminder on your phone to take another five minute pause somewhere in your day.
(Don’t forget, when you engage in your pause, simply close your eyes, breathe, and pay attention to your body as you slow down. Then, thank God for one thing in your life.)
Action #2 Turn off your phone completely for 15 minutes at any point throughout the day and ask someone you love how they are doing. When you engage in conversation, listen more than you speak.
