7 Day Silence & Solitude Challenge

• Schedule a time to break your day
• Find a quiet place (closet, vehicle, office door shut, etc.)
• Take a couple deep breathes while centering your mind on approaching Jesus
• If you are utilizing the Pause app, follow along with John Eldredge's prompts to guide your time.
• If you are not utilizing the Pause App, say something like, "God you are here, I am just now coming to you. Here is my heart, my worries, my thoughts from my day, I give them to you. God what do you want my mind to dwell? Is there someone in my life that needs to be encouraged today? If so, who is it?"
• Consider contemplating Psalm 23 for a few moments 
  • Sit in quiet and listen to see if God speaks to your inner being, your soul.
  • Dwell on what He shares with you. 
  • If He does not speak to you in your time alone in the quiet, thank Him for giving you a space to take a break with His Spirit and pray that this practice will minister to you that day.
  • If He does speak to you, give Him thanks for that word and then make a plan with the Holy Spirit for whatever He shared with you.
