WHAT YOU CAN DO THIS WEEK

Find a place where you can still yourself, giving to God any burdens from the day. Take a few slow, deep breaths, inviting God into this time. When you are ready, ask God to remind you of His rescuing in your life. What has He delivered you from? Pause and offer God your gratitude for how He has intervened in your life. Next, ask God to reveal your approach toward Him: Where in your life are you “trying” too hard to serve God? Ask God instead to show you where you need to lean on Him in trust more than in your own efforts to be close to Him. Ask God to show you when you shift to “trying” throughout the week.
