2 Corinthians 12:9
My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.
What do you say to yourself in the wee hours of the morning? What is going through your head at 3am? Is it filled with worry? What does your self-talk look like? We are spiritual beings having a human experience. This wee morning chatter is an indicator that your human experience has taken over. You are leaning in to your human experience and letting it run the show. It is preventing your spiritual being from showing up.
Is your human experience struggling today? Maybe your human experience is telling you all the things you are not. How do you calm that human experience, refocus and shift back to your spiritual being so you remember who God says you are? Sometimes you just need to take a break. Take a break from the routine. Take a break from self. Take a break from others. Switch things up and just be. You can get stuck in the day to day activities and forget to look up and really see the new day. Stop and breathe! Enjoy the sunshine. Sit on the front porch. Be in nature. Leave your technology behind. Do nothing. It is time to reset!
Signs it is time to shift.
Wee morning or late-night panic and horrible self-talk.
Feeling like you are trying so hard and it is doing no good.
Looking back at the last week and it was a blur.
Waking up and not knowing what day it is.
Feeling sorry for yourself.
Feeling like you have nothing left to give.
The enemy would like nothing more than to deal with your human experience. He wants to see the human experience run the show. It is so much easier for him to gain ground this way. He fears your spiritual being. He knows your spiritual being is directly tied to God. Your human experience is easy to attack, and tends to believe all the lies, no questions asked. The enemy wants you to believe that all you are is the human experience. He wants you to disconnect from and forget about your spiritual being. He works overtime to make this happen. He is a master manipulator. He picks and picks until he finds a way in. When your guard is down it is easy to fall for his lies and start repeating them to yourself. But what is wonderful is you can always recover from his attacks. Each time you do your spiritual being gains more ground.
Listen to what God has to say about you. You are strong. You are loved. God understands when you struggle. He understands when that human experience takes over. Lean into Him.
Prayer
Father God,
Thank you for my spiritual being that is strong and tied directly to you. Thank you for allowing my human experience to be an indicator of when it is time to rest. Forgive me for the times I don’t listen to my human body’s needs, for it allows the enemy to find a way in. Continue to guide me in this human experience and remind me who I am and who I belong to. You never abandon me. You are there in the moments of joy and moments of struggle. Your grace is sufficient. When my human experience has taken over, and I have difficulty feeling your presence and hearing you, help me to shift back to the presence of my spiritual being.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
Jenny, God uses you just when I need to rain myself in and focus on what’s really real and live in His presen. ❤️U Mom
