It’s one thing to experience an intense growth spurt with Jesus like I’ve done the last couple of years.
Incredible pressure on the outside.
I turned to Him.
Hours each day with Him.
He has given me an incredible level of peace and satisfaction with Him even as the external is still very difficult. Circumstances are rough.
but the peace and enjoy I am experiencing with Him is unlike anything I can describe, nor could have imagined prior to this time.
I want to pass on one of the conversational methods I’ve used with Jesus wherein that He has shown me peace and freedom.
I feel like I could write and write and write about how it feels to me.
But yet, that does nothing for someone else except possibly be an encouragement.
Through this process, I’ve developed/been given/figured out/discovered a general process for initiating time with Jesus that usually yields a conversation that brings me closer to Him.
The challenge: it’s not personally word for word for me this way each time.
But I’m curious if you’d be willing to take 10 - 15 minutes and take these questions to Jesus about something you are worried or concerned about today, and just drop me a quick comment as to:
What was helpful (if anything)
What you got stuck on
What is wrong with this approach
thanks . .
if you are up for it, start here:
I’d like you to try this by inserting your biggest worry today:
Name your worry: ______________-
Then simply use that worry in place of the blank ______________- below:
Take your biggest challenge today. The thing you are most worried about.
Tell the Lord that it exists.
Maybe like this: Jesus, I am worried about ______________-.
Then ask Him to sit with you in it.
Jesus, I invite you to sit with me in this.
Then be still.
Just sit.
Be aware that He is sitting with you.
Even if He says nothing.
Or you hear nothing.
He is there.
5 - 7 minutes . . .
How does that feel . . .
Just sitting in it?
Not solving the ______________-?
Is the weight of it . . . less?
If He hasn’t spoken . . . how does it feel, just knowing He is there with you?
If He has spoken - or you’ve sensed some answer . . . how does that feel?
You don’t have to solve anything.
But you probably notice the ______________- is less worrisome now.
You are less afraid of it.
Jesus is with you.
ok, so you’ve talked with Him . .
would you be willing to drop some thoughts in the comments:
What was helpful (if anything)
What you got stuck on
What is wrong with this approach
Thanks for helping me . . and I hope in helping me you got relief too!
here are those questions again, would sure love to hear your answers as it will be super helpful to me:
What was helpful (if anything)
What you got stuck on
What is wrong with this approach


I encourage you to take a few minutes and talk with Jesus now . . .
