Guided Prayer
One · Pause
Be still for a moment. Breathe in slowly, and out slowly — three times. There is no hurry here, and no one is watching.
Be still, and know that I am God.
Psalm 46:10 · KJV
Two · Check in
What feels pointless right now? Be honest rather than harsh.
Three · Scripture · King James Version
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
Galatians 6:9 · KJV
“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;”
Colossians 3:23 · KJV
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:31 · KJV
Four · Reflection
Doing your work heartily 'as to the Lord' changes its meaning even when the task is small. Strength is renewed while you wait on Him.
Five · Pray this
Father, I have no drive today. Renew my strength. Help me do the next thing heartily, as unto You, and not grow weary in well doing. In Jesus' name, amen.
Six · Now in your own words
Offer today's smallest task to God as worship.
Seven · Private journal
What I have been avoiding, and the one step I will take today.
Eight · One practical step
Do the smallest version of the task for ten minutes.
Before you go
You do not need to feel motivated to be faithful.
