Episode 21: The Power of the One Minute Pause
Can you really turn your day around in just sixty seconds? Sometimes all it takes is a few moments of resting in the presence of Jesus to relieve anxiety and find what we need to keep going.
In this week's episode, we'll learn a short and simple practice that will help you turn away from whatever is going on in your life and focus on Jesus, asking for more of his love and life.
This Week’s Practice: The Power of the One Minute Pause
The Practice: Take one minute to turn away from whatever is going on in your life and focus on Jesus, asking for more of his love and life.
*This practice is adapted from Get Your Life Back: Everyday Practices for a World Gone Mad by John Eldredge.*
How to Do the Practice:
Step away from the noise and chaos of your day.
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.
Remember that Jesus is with you and cares for you.
Pray: Jesus, I give everyone and everything to you.
Ask for union with God and for more of his life and love to fill you.
Two Ways to Use the Pause:
Set a reminder on your phone to go off at a couple different points in your day
Use the pause in moments of overwhelm or anxiety
