1 Peter 5:10 / Psalms 16:11 / Psalms 62:8 / John
15:9-10
HABIT 1: Sit Place with God
Now is the time to restore intimacy with God back into your life. The
enemy's plan is to kill, steal, and destroy intimacy in all relationships,
beginning with the most important one: your relationship with God. It is God's
plan to restore intimacy with you, making you strong, steady, secure, and sure.
His pathway of intimacy is life-breathing, life-giving. In His presence, you
will be filled to the fullness of joy, and all provisions needed for your
intimacy journey will be provided.
Your "sit place with God" can be both visual and physical.
Find a place where you can sit with God daily. It is in this sit place that you
first worship Him and then share your thoughts and feelings with Him. Pause in
His presence. Wait for Him, don't rush this time. First, to receive His care
and comfort for your struggle. Second, to receive His truth, to know the path
to take that will offer you the help, healing, or hope you so desperately need.
This is not a time of monologue, but of dialogue. It is the honoring of both
your voice and His voice. Your response in obedience to what He shares with you
is your love back to Him.
Reflection
First, create your "sit place with God." Meet with God daily,
even throughout the day and night to share your heart and listen to His heart.
Second, invite Jesus daily into all your relationships and situations. His
presence will give you peace, joy, hope, and so much more versus what the world
has to offer in stress, anxiety, depression, and many other emotional
struggles. Remove all "Do Not Enter" signs, giving Him access to your
whole life. Third, obey what He speaks to your heart. From this loved placed,
He will share His truth that will set you free.
