“Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the scriptures declare, Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.” John 7:38
As the holiday season creeps up, our to-do lists start to grow and risk the tipping of the cup of our souls on its side. To keep our souls from draining, we have to pray regularly. In the midst of all the hustle and bustle it can be difficult to find these soul stops along the way, so let me share three things that can help keep your soul steady.
Look for brief stops. One way to keep your focus on God and His plans even on the busiest days is to set aside 3-5 minutes throughout the day to just drop to your knees and talk to God. This will redirect your worries and keep your thoughts on Him.
Pay attention. As you work on trying to keep your soul filled up and staying filled, ask God to get your attention. Look for Him at work throughout your day in the little things- the right song on the radio, a text at the right time, or a little laugh with your kids.
Set Limits. Pick a time when your distractions begin, and tell them when to end. During that time, make your phone calls, do what you need to on the computer and any other things that you pour your soul into, but when that time is over, shut it down. Save time at the beginning of your day and/or the end of your day for nothing other than soul-filling time with God.
Your soul relies on fellowship with God through His Son, Jesus. Doing anything else than relying on Him may work in the moment but it won’t last and it could even cause damage.
