Our lives can be either driven by our schedules or by spirit. They can be driven by the constant chatter of our minds or by a place of calm. They can be driven by impulse or by wisdom.
Precious, sacred silence is one of our most essential friends. Our silent time reminds us of who we are and it gives us access to amazing wisdom from which we are guided when making our daily decisions. So why is it so difficult to write it on today’s schedule? Why is it so hard to make time to be still?
Many of us now have a spiritual practice during which we pray for assistance, read the word of God, meditate, focus on gratitude or find ways to inspire our heart. But as we know, the world pulls ferociously in different directions. It begs us to pay attention, to divide our time, to finish tasks, to distract our focus and to be busier than it’s good for our souls.
It takes a mindful effort and awareness to revisit our priorities often, and make the time to connect with our spirit and most importantly, with God our Father. Truly, having this time is the most important thing we will do in the day. When we can set the time to do this first in our day, the rest of the day is driven by moments of intuition gained from connecting mindfully with the source of all love, peace and light.
This is not a duty or an effort. We don’t work to be more spiritually connected; it is who we are. This desire to connect is already within us. All we have to do is set aside time to check in and to let the noise drop away for long enough to reveal the beauty and calm that resides within us. And if we can just hover there…open… For a moment without jumping in with a thought, within that stillness, is when we’re able to activate our soul’s wisdom and when we will be able to hear directly from God. ♥️
Having a time during the day to calm the mind and still the soul can be a challenging practice. But that is one of those things that will have lasting consequences in our lives. We deserve to create moments of internal peace for ourselves. Moments to gain higher intuition and guidance. The rewards of doing this for ourselves will reach across all aspects of our being. Every day is a good day to begin learning or to practice praying with a sincere heart and having a moment of stillness to just listen and connect to the divine.
This week I’ve had a lot on my to do list. But I’ve made it a point to set aside time to be with God. To connect to my source of peace, to open my heart to Him and to just listen. I can’t tell you the amazing words that my soul, mind and heart were filled with. Words of love, encouragement, kindness and peace. I felt all of my worries and stresses completely leave my mind, because I was able to personally feel the Savior directly speaking to me. I
felt His presence. I heard in my heart and mind Him telling me that there’s nothing greater in this world and in this life than the ability or the gift to be able to come to KNOW CHRIST. ♥️ To be able to be a WITNESS of CHRIST. 😭
That experience, took everything that I was “praying for or worried about” completely away from me. In that instant, all of the fears left my soul. I felt completely still and at peace with God. I knew what I heard, what I felt, and I clearly saw in my mind that Jesus Christ was with me in that moment. No amount of money, power, status, popularity, or whatever else we are attached to on this earth, matters more than COMING TO KNOW CHRIST.
I want to testify to all of you, that when we truly have the desire to come to God, we can find Him in stillness. If we make the time for Him, He will quiet our minds and souls and we will be able to hear directly from Him! 😭 There’s nothing more amazing than hearing directly from the source. 💛He wants to guide us, help us, give us peace, un attach us from the things that keep us stuck in this world. He wants us to come to know Him and to see and experience for ourselves how amazing this loving God is. He has a plan for each one of us and He is fully aware of all that we have in our hearts and minds.
I invite you to come to Him and experience opening your heart, mind and soul to God. Ask Him to help you find stillness in your soul and experience the love and peace of a loving God for yourself. ♥️🥰
Our goal for this week is to create more peaceful moments, to quiet our minds, be still and listen. We can ask for inspiration, breathe and take a moment to write down what we feel. As we’re able to keep those notes throughout the week, we will see that God does speak to us. Directly to our heart ♥️ That internal peace is always available to us. Silence and peace can become our new friend. God wants to remind us that we can create moments to be still, to Still our souls and to know that He is God. Invite more of that light and wisdom into your day and you’ll feel the difference.
As we choose to make time for moments of peace and quiet. We will be better able to express our feelings to our Father in Heaven. We will be better able to find peace for our soul, we will be open to allowing the light of Christ to enter more deeply into our lives. Allowing Him to purify and remove our negative thoughts and feelings and instead inviting the healing light of the Savior to cover us completely.
I fully believe that it is part of our earthly experience to come and live in these bodies. So that we may learn to live and take care of them. But also, so that we may LEARN to go within ourselves to find the divine stillness that can only come from the presence of God. From where our spirits were born. We must learn this skill of going within and quieting the mind and the world. To really know that we TRUST GOD. To connect to Him in prayer and in spirit.
As we PRACTICE this skill, we will feel a stronger connection to Heaven. More inspiration and insights will come. We will be better able to handle our problems and we will have more trust and faith in God. We will gain a confidence that is divine and rises above any type of worldly confidence. There’s no degree, no amount of money, Power or no self help courses that can bring the type of confidence and peace that only the spirit of God can provide to our souls.
May we quiet our words, calm our thoughts, soften our hearts and still our souls daily, so that we may listen, be open, have faith and receive. & most importantly, let your spirit lead and remember to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD.
Make it your goal today to come to class tonight at 7pm! The hardest thing is always showing up. So, put on your workout clothes as a sign of the promise that you’re making to yourself to be there! Turn your attention away from the world and focus on giving yourself the gift of one hour to yourself tonight. Our meditation will be focused on stillness and allowing God to speak to ourselves. So, come and give yourself the gift of slowing down. You deserve it! ♥️
Remember that God loves you, He wants to hear from you! Make it your priority this week to make quiet moments for Him and to strengthen yourself from within. Notice His hand in your life and thank Him for your many blessings. He will guide you on what to focus on each hour of your day. & don’t forget that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. ♥️🥰🙏🏼
Love,
Lili 🌸
