One of the things I am finding helpful is scheduling time to be still, time to reflect, pray, read my bible, listen to worship music. Schedule times to take walks, to slow down.
To experience rest, we still must schedule it like we do our work time.
Know God. I think many of us thought, “If I’m home more, maybe now is the time to start that side hustle, write that book, start that project.” What if this was the season and time for us to know God more, to know Him more deeply. To face some places in our hearts that we have kept hidden from Him?
What if, those of us who follow Jesus are closer to Jesus than before COVID?
Give things over to God. Trust Him.
Trust Him with your finances, retirement, your fear, your anxiety.
I shared before about a practice I’ve tried to do, where I write down three things I’m thankful for. This is such an essential time for an exercise like that. To stop and thank God for something. This also helps to reset our hearts on where things are. Yes, things are hard. Yes, things are tough. But be still. God is still God, and each day, we need to remind ourselves of that truth.
