Being mindful of the Spirit
In class I was learning about "mindfulness" and how we need to be able to teach our clients to be in the present with a calm, clear mind. People tend to live in the past (depression) or focus too much on the future (anxiety). God teaches us; "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow , for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day [is] its own trouble."(Matthew 6:34) There are several exercises we did that included a meditation exercise of focusing on the "breath." I know sounds kinda weird but It did help to relax and calm me. But I thought wouldn't it be even better If we focused on our real power and strength as Christians? So I wrote up a little prayer about the Holy Spirit and what he does. Take just two minutes to remember who is on the throne, who is in control, and trust in Him. Gentle spirit within Thank you for the peace you give- thank you for your presence. Your spirit resides within this temple So help m
