Growing In Resilience: A Prayer Journey

DAY 12 OF 40

Choose Life

Ask God’s help in choosing life today – choosing life through what we eat and drink, what we watch, and how we look after our bodies.

When stressed we can default into numbing behaviours. Numbing means we are not fully present – to ourselves, to others, and to God. We may numb through eating, drinking, or working too much; watching TV, going on Facebook, or playing online games; gambling, or using drugs. At whatever level, numbing moves us away from life and is a deadening choice.

About this Plan

Growing In Resilience: A Prayer Journey

Whether confronted with difficult life events or extended periods of pressure, resilience helps us to emerge stronger, wiser, and with a deeper faith. Yet such resilience is not automatic – it involves behaviours, thoughts, and actions that are learned and practised over time. This 40-day prayer journey helps us develop practices to grow that resilience.
