Guide me into the spaces and places where You know I will thrive, and my soul will be nourished.

There are many ways that you can tend to your soul, but what might be more important is asking yourself how faithful you are to listening to the whispers of your heart. It is in listening well that you are able to tend to your soul well.

This is about calling and thriving, knowing who you are, and honoring the way God has created you.

Every moment and every event of every man and woman’s life on earth plants something in the soul.

Thomas Merton

A few ways to tend to your soul:

  • Welcome and honor silence so that you can be present to your heart and soul. Having a set-aside time each day to enter silence will unlock the doors to your heart. Set a calendar reminder, just as you would for an important meeting.
  • Be intentional with how you spend your time. Let your yes be a yes and your no be a no. If you need to allow more silence or noise-free time then listen to that beckoning call.
