Taking Care of Your Soul

Enhancing the Effectiveness of Recovery

As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?

Psalm 42:1-2

If you have followed me long enough, you know that I am big into the verse that says as a man thinks in his heart, so is he?! I have come to believe this with all my heart.  Everything we are and do is directly linked to what we think and believe.  You can trace everything back to that.  It’s your reason “why?”

This month I wanted to focus on recovery, both physically and spiritually.  Anything that takes energy requires recovery.  There are multiple ways one can recover from a trial or workout.  But one of the best ways is to take care of your soul first.

The best recovery comes when you pour out your soul before God in prayer.
