A guided meditation for when you could use some help.
In this episode, we gently walk through thepain we carry, the patterns we’ve lived, and the possibilities ahead. With honesty, grace, and a few hard questions, you'll be invited to reflect on where you’ve been and where God might be leading you next.
request access to Stories Only Strangers Can See: https://bit.ly/stories-only-strangers-can-see-access
assignments:
1. What is your pain?
List 3–5 of your most painful life experiences you’ve made it through.
For each, write 1–2 life lessons you learned.
Read Psalm 42 as a reflection.
2. Who are your voices?
List 3 hurtful things said to you in your life.
Find a Scripture that speaks truth over each one.
List 3 encouraging things others have said. Write them on post-its and put them around your home.
Write a thank-you note to one encourager.
3. Who are you?
Journal your answers to these:
o What do I love to do?
o What am I good at?
o What drives me crazy?
o What makes me cry?
o What would I do with unlimited time, energy, and money?
o Who do I want to help? And how?
Then ask: What is my “so that”?
4. Write your manifesto.
Use phrases like:
I am God’s handiwork...
What was meant for harm, God meant for good.
I will be fearless in the execution of my calling.
Let the dogs bark. I’ve got work to do.
I am the unconditionally beloved daughter of the FatherGod and He is smiling down on my life and work.
Listen, from time to time, we're going to get hurt. And we're then going to have to forgive. Hopefully, this guided meditation can be a gentle tool to help you take that step.
