Day 20 – Schedule Time with Jesus

How can we focus more on Christ?

Schedule time with Jesus and don’t move Him to the next day.

I love my planner. I am old school and like to write instead of use my phone. I use the “Planner Pad” to keep up with all the things going on with work, kids, and life. After I complete a task on the list, I put a big check mark on that item and feel accomplished. The things that don’t get done, get a strikethrough and moved to another day in the week.

There are some days that have more strikethroughs than check marks. Today is probably one of those days! I was doing some thinking this afternoon about those things that get moved to another day, the strikethroughs. Life is going to cause the list to shift, but it’s really important to not strikethrough Jesus time. That time is the foundation to life. Jesus time will make all the other things on the list bearable and a little less stressful. Jesus time gives us the strength to get through the day.

Let’s make Jesus time a priority this week with no strikethroughs.

If we typically spend 5 minutes a day praying, let’s bump that up to 7 minutes.

If we read a devotion each day, let’s open our Bibles and read one page.

Let’s pause during the workday and say a little extra prayer.

Let’s make time to go to church this week.

Let’s keep that focus going this month! Jesus, help us keep our eyes on you!

Day 19 – Call a Friend & Ask How You Can Pray for Them Today

How can we focus more on Christ?

A few years ago, I was part of a group and was assigned a prayer partner. Here’s a post I explaining my experience. Who can you call or text today and ask to pray for them?

A New Sound & A Prayer Partner

My phone made a new sound. I recently installed a new App (Voxer) to communicate with the ladies in my Revelation Wellness instructor training group. This new sound startles me each time a new message is delivered.

Today the message waiting for me as I opened the app from my notification’s menu had more of an impact on me than I anticipated. It was a message from my prayer partner. Here’s what it read:

“Happy Monday Natalie! How can I be praying for you?”

My eyes immediately filled up with tears. Somebody that I barely know wants to pray for me today. This person, my sister in Christ, wants good things for me. This person took time out of her day to pray for me. The love that filled my heart was truly felt.

Can you imagine what a wonderful world this could be if we all treated each other this way?

What if we called each other to ask how we can pray for that person today? What if we messaged our friends and told them how great they are, how loved they are, and how much they mean to us? What if we had time to bake a treat for our neighbor?

I bet we would spend less time in gossip or dwelling on the negative news. I bet our stress would be less. I bet we would speak kinder to our children. I bet we would be happier.

What would it take for love and joy to spread over the world? Maybe a focus on Christ? What if we all focused on Christ? What if we read our Bible and prayed continually? What if we went to church and fellowshipped with those that care for us? What if we spread the good news to those around us?

I would love to challenge us all to try it! A focus on Christ to help change the world. Who is in?

Who are you going to call today?
