Day Three

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

Matthew 5:8 (The Message)

You're blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.



ASK GOD A FEW QUESTIONS


What did it feel like to walk slower yesterday?

What have you learned about your pace of life in the last few days?

What emotion rises to the surface when you think about your inside world, your heart and mind?


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 When you are in the car today, turn off the radio, and drive the speed limit. That’s right, actually drive the speed limit without any noise in the car.
