There's a God who loves me more than I love myself.
Ever feel like life's moving too fast and you're losing touch with what really matters? In this episode of 'Relational Recovery', hosts West Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the power of slowing down through prayer and reflection. They discuss how our knee-jerk reactions to stress often push us to speed up, but taking a moment to pause can bring clarity and peace.
West shares a personal exercise for those sceptical about the value of stillness: grab a notebook, set a timer for five minutes, and simply sit or walk in silence. Jot down any significant thoughts or memories that pop up, then reflect on them later. This practice can help uncover deep-seated issues and foster a sense of calm and connection with oneself and with God.
Austin emphasises that while this process can be challenging, it’s crucial for personal growth and understanding how we experience love. If you’re looking for a way to reconnect with yourself and your spirituality, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt encouragement. Give it a listen – it might just change your perspective on the importance of slowing down.
