Finding Your Peaceful Space
Find your peaceful space and visit it often. In your space:
Listen to worship music.
There's something really sweet about worship music — it puts into words what you can’t quite articulate to God. It helps communicate what may be deeply hidden and give you what your heart needs to hear. I pray you will put on worship music today, right now, to let it minister to you.
2. Journal
Writing all of your prayers in your journal gives you a way to connect with God and process all of your needs, emotions, fears, etc. There are days when I don’t write much except, “can I just feel your presence today? I need you.” That alone is a prayer to which He responds.
3. Lament
Lament aka cry out to Him, and/or scream if needed. Did you know when we can't articulate our prayers to God, the Holy Spirit will communicate them to Him for us? That can be found in Romans 8:26. “And the Holy Spirit will help us in our weakness. The Holy Spirit will pray for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words".
Lamenting is simply expressing honest emotions when life is not going as planned. Whether we’re hurt, frustrated, confused, betrayed, overwhelmed, sad, or just disappointed, lament is the language God has given us to talk to Him right in the middle of life’s messes.
It’s simply REAL, unfiltered talk with God when you’re hurting and when all you can do is cry out to Him for help. It’s a prayer that says, “God, I’m hurting – will You meet me here?” And as such, it is a prayer to which God always also responds.
4. Soak in silence
Have you ever just sat in silence and submitted every negative thought about yourself, every negative thought about others, things you are confused about, need answers for to God, etc. as it came up in real time? Try this. God is always near waiting patiently for us to give to Him what was never meant for us to carry.
