Boundaries

There are days when I feel like "I am falling apart," I don't know which direction to go in next. I look at the pile on my desk, and all the tasks of my life and rather than do anything I just want to cry. It is often in those times that I realize I have let spiritual practice slip away from me. I can find it hard to recall when I last stopped to breathe deeply, or even to pray. Today see your cup as a container for your spiritual care.

Breathprayer:

Breathe in: help me...

Breathe out:...spend time in you

Reflection:

Hold you cup in your hands

Notice its boundaries. The bottom, the inside, the rim.

Run your fingers inside the cup

then look into the cup and consider it a container for your spiritual care

Your prayers, breathing, reflections and love are all held there

Imagine God holding those things in you - pause in that thought

Ask yourself where have I let my goals and priorities for spiritual care

leak out? What are my boundaries for personal care?

Listen to God speak to you about your boundaries.

Scripture: Matthew 14:22-27

And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up to the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone. Matt. 14:22-27

Journal:

What keeps me from taking care of my spiritual life?

What are some boundaries for spiritual care I should keep?

Prayer:

God guide us to spend quality time with you that we may be enriched in our lives.

Today spend some extra intentional time with God either on a walk, or a break from the business of life.
