How to Slow Down and Simplify Your Life

दिन 1 को 7

Follow Jesus Toward Simplicity

There are a limitless number of things competing for our limited time and energy. Task lists, unfinished projects, worries about the future, big dreams we want to pursue, spiritual growth opportunities, entertainment, social media, friends, and family all want our attention.

So, how do we decide how we’ll invest our time and energy?

We want to be healthy, rested, productive, and focused on the right things, but daily demands and distractions get in the way. So we settle for safe routines and constant busyness, hoping we’ll have more time in the future to pursue our dreams and spend time with the people we care about most.

Well, today is the day we can stop just hoping—and instead start taking steps to slow down and simplify our lives, so we can focus on what matters most. And what matters most?

  • Our relationship with God
  • Our relationships with others
  • Our relationship with ourselves

Simple, right?

This Bible Plan is designed to help you press pause on everything competing for your limited time and energy so you can refocus your life on God, others, and your own health.

And here’s the good news. You can simplify your life. How do we know? Because Jesus lived the most meaningful, productive, and relationally full life. But He also lived simply, focusing on God, others, and His own health.

So how do we start? In a way, you’ve already started. Today, you chose to take a few minutes to focus on God by starting this Bible Plan. It might not seem like a big deal, but it can be the starting point of a healthier way of living.

Nothing is more important than our relationship with God, but it’s easy to allow busyness and distractions to keep us from intentionally spending time with our heavenly Father. So, as you seek simplicity, start with prioritizing time with God each day.

Pray: Dear God, I want to pursue Your best for me. I’m tired of focusing on the wrong things. Help me to follow You toward simplicity. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Challenge: Simplify your life by planning to spend time with God each day this week. You may have to say no to a less important demand or distraction, but it’ll be worth it.
