This week, we are spending time asking God how and why we need to love and care for our own needs first, so that we can better show up for our family.

 

Day 1: It’s hard to love yourself until you deal with stuff holding you down!

1 Corinthians 13:4

Galatians 5:22-23

 

Day 2: Fixing what’s broken, maintenance, and thriving! 5 areas that need your attention!

1 Samuel 20:30

 

Day 3: Jesus practiced self-care too! Our basic human needs to be met to show up as our best selves! Seems silly that we have to be told that!

Mark 6:31

 

Day 4: You can't keep going on like this!

 

ACTION STEPS:

Ask God to show you why you can't relax. What are you afraid will happen? Why are you worried about that?

 

On a scale of 1-5 how is your life in these 5 areas: mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational. What area do you need to focus on first?

 

What fuels your fire? It's different for everyone, what energizes you?

 

Start small, find 5 minutes a day doing one of those things listed above. 

 

Join us this week Monday-Thursday as we pray about loving ourselves enough to take care of ourselves. 

 

FOCUSED PRAYER:

Jesus, 

I am tired. I go and do for everyone else and some days I do not think I can go anymore. But I get up and keep going anyways. Thank you for giving me strength when I have nothing left to give. If there is an area in my physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, or relational life that I need to deal with and heal so that I can be strong in these areas, help me find peace in that situation. Remind me when I won't slow down to care for myself, that even Jesus needed time away from everyone to refuel his mind, body, and soul! 

In Jesus' Name, Amen!
