The Self-Care DevotionalSample

Whatever You Do

One way to ensure your desire for self-care doesn’t become overly self-centered is to glorify God with each choice. Let this new direction be because you want to find your divine joy again. Let each step forward help you become healthy so you can shine your light in the world. Let the goal of self-care be to nourish your soul and reconnect with God in fresh ways. Let it clear your negative thoughts so you can understand the core of your feelings. And know that when you choose to be kind to yourself, you’re choosing to embrace the gift of life. So, friend, as you journey to health and happiness, invite God into each step. Pray as you make decisions, and listen as He guides you. And no matter what you do, whatever path you are traversing, do it all to the glory of our great God.

Prayer: Dear God, help my heart to be focused on You with each “me” decision. Help me see the bigger picture with each step I take toward caring for myself so You are glorified in it. I don’t want any hint of egotism in my motives. Amen.
