Give Me Joy Day 6: Everyone Needs A Little Time to Be By Themselves

 

 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy.

Spread your protection over them that those who love your name may

rejoice in you.

Psalm 5:11

Lord I am so glad that I am able to take refuge in you.

You are my safety

my shield

my strong tower.

 

Thank you for your protection

that is wrapped around

wherever I go

whatever I do.

 

Help me to sense your presence more in my life Lord.

Let the mere sound of your name

Jesus

restore a deeper sense of joy and peace.

 

 

Release more joy in my heart

remind me again of

how faithful you have been to me.

 

 Wash me with gratefulness

 

comfort me with solace.

 

Solitude + Prayer = Reflection

"The unexamined life is not worth living" -Socrates

"The unplanned life is not worth examining" Aristotle

Do you take the time to get connected with where you are headed?

Where you have been?

What lessons you have learned?

 

True reflection needs to be grounded in some sort of solitude.

These two sides have to be incorporated into your life in order to see

patterns.

 

Every life has patterns. These patterns that reveal what you are

doing right connecting with what you have done in the past and what

you may be missing.

 

 

Joy in Action Moment:

 

 

Make a date with yourself to just sit for 20 minutes.

By yourself.

With pen and paper or with some music and listen to the answer that

show up in your heart to these questions:

 

 

Is my life going as I expected?

 

Where do I find myself off track?

 

Am I in a rut?

 

What one thing can I do to move my life in the direction it is supposed

to be going?
