Reflect and Relax to Receive

Recently, I’ve been feeling called back to remember the simple things that brought me joy in my youth. Accomplishments as an adult are no longer as simple as making good grades and your family proud. Adulting often comes with questions and judgment from others about our personal choices which can breed feelings of doubt. Feelings of doubt can breed uncertainty in your life, so now is the time to reflect and relax.

Reflect on the blessings you’ve received in the past, or the moment God delivered you from places and situations that no longer served you. Reflect in gratitude for all those who have journeyed with you along the way.

Take time away from mapping out your future to relax. Enjoy the fresh air, and explore your surroundings. Find cultural activities happening in the area. Find a friend to join you, or meet a new one while you’re out. Use the refreshed energy to help you focus on what truly matters.

A Prayer

Father God,

Thank you for always meeting my every need. I trust that you will do it again. In the meantime, I ask that you remind me of the love and joy I have for you in any moment my faith is tested. Grant me the rest and rejuvenation I need so I may experience some happiness along with all the hard work you provide me with under the sun.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Mood Music

What if we had the power to rule the world? Would everyone benefit from your character in its current state? Would they trust you to have their best interests at heart? Would you have the courage and bravery it takes to stand in the face of opposition? I selected this song because it represents an ideal world (in the context of this song) if everyone owned their part in co-creating it, and their responsibility for the lives of others in less fortunate circumstances. Plus, let’s face it: Nas is the inspiration we all need, but we traded in his perspective for the one that glorified our material desires.

Until Tomorrow.

Abundance – More than a Mindset

Do we truly believe everything is going to work out in our favor if we are solely reliant on miracles to happen with little to no effort on our part?

Oftentimes, it’s not the size of our dreams that’s the issue, but believing that we are worthy of receiving our dreams, and capable of sustaining our blessings. Now is the time to show our faith in what’s to come by discipling our efforts.

Struggling to figure out where to start?

  • Learn from those who have walked the path you wish to take, or paved similar ones
  • Find a community of those journeying the same path with you
  • Detail specific steps in an action plan to meet your goal

Struggling to find the time to focus? Begin by checking your phone and app usage analytics. Then, start by using 25% of that time to zone in and create that prosperity plan.

Remember not to compare your walk and journey to others. Comparison is the thief of joy, and will create a lack mindset which will hold you back from receiving. To whom much is given, much will be required. Let go of the lack, and invite abundance to fill the space. You will reap in due season if you discipline yourself to the path now.

A Prayer

Father God,

I thank you for your abundance of mercy, peace and love you have for all of your children. I thank you for the gifts and talents you’ve blessed me with, and in this season, I ask you for the discipline of focus, and the discernment to know what is worthy of my attention. I ask that you call into my life those who are journeying a similar path to mine who are looking to be in right and supportive relationships. Allow me to continue to keep my focus on you as you prepare me for my next and best season yet.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

“When you wake up in the morning

and you see the morning sun

And when you need to know the world is on your side

Who do you run to?

Who do you turn to?” – Erykah Badu, Ye-Yo

Until Tomorrow.
